The phenotypic and physiological response mechanisms of Tetracentron sinense, an endangered plant and a relict from the tertiary period, to global warming.

Abstract excerpt

Tetracentron sinense, an endangered relict species surviving since the Quaternary Period, was investigated to assess its adaptive responses to climate warming. A downward transplantation experiment simulated warming effects by transferring plants from a high-altitude site (2448 m) to a low-altitude site (2023 m). We analyzed seed germination traits, seedling survival dynamics, and adaptive mechanisms through...
