Abstract excerpt
Understanding the relationship between climate and fitness will be important when predicting how plant populations respond to climate change. We conducted a replicated common garden experiment (4 sites × 2 yr) with 96 genotypes (n = 22 492 individuals) of the invasive annual grass Bromus tectorum (cheatgrass) to understand how eco-evolutionary context mediates this important relationship. We grew genotypes in...
