Climate change drives convergent evolution of root traits on Sky Island climate relicts.

Scientific reports - 7 Feb 2026

Politano Lorren E, York Larry M, Bailey Joseph K, Schweitzer Jennifer A

Abstract excerpt

Roots are essential to the strategies plants use to survive in variable environments, yet we know little of how they vary within species. Experimental conditions demonstrate that intraspecific plant root traits respond strongly to variation in the environment; however, it is unclear when these responses can be characterized as evolution in response to selective pressures of climate change over many generations....
