Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Assessing intra-specific trait covariation across populations is essential to understand species' adaptive responses to climatic variation. However, in tree species this is understudied for early-life stages despite their greater vulnerability to environmental changes, and climatic adaptations can differ between tree ages. In this paper we study the integrated phenotype of Quercus suber...
