Elevational variation in trichomes of the alpine subnival woolly plant Eriophyton wallichii: abiotic and biotic correlates and impacts on other traits.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Research has extensively examined how adaptations to extreme environments shape the highly specialized phenotypes of alpine subnival plants; however, large-scale biogeographical patterns of these specialized plant phenotypes remain largely unexplored. METHODS: This study investigated the elevational patterns of leaf trichome density in the alpine subnival woolly plant Eriophyton wallichii,...
