Genetic diversity provides the basic substrate for evolution, yet few studies assess the
impacts of global climate change (GCC) on intraspecific genetic variation. In this review, we …

Alpine areas make excellent research sites for investigating questions of plant ecology due
to harsh climatic filtering, compressed ecological/environmental gradients, limited species …

Ecological restoration of grasslands is increasingly based on regional seeds derived from
predefined seed transfer zones. However, the degree and spatial pattern of genetic …

Abstract Background and Aims Trait–environment relationships are commonly interpreted as
evidence for local adaptation in plants. However, even when selection analyses support this …

Widespread plant species generally have high intraspecific variation in functional traits,
which is reflected in their great variety of phenotypes. This variety can result from both …

This study presents an analysis of leave and rood morphology, biochemical and proteomics
approach as adaptation strategies of the alpine plant Potentilla saundersiana in an altitude …

Plant resource‐use traits are generally hypothesized to be adaptively differentiated for
populations distributed along resource gradients. Although nutrient limitations are expected …

The impacts of drought are expanding worldwide as a consequence of climate change.
However, there is still little knowledge of how species respond to long‐term selection in …

The evidence for adaptive phenotypic differentiation in mobile marine species remains
scarce, partly due to the difficulty of obtaining quantitative genetic data to demonstrate the …

Acclimation and adaptation of leaf physiology and phenology to climate change have
attracted substantial attention from forest ecology and global change science communities …
