Surprisingly, life history, soil nutrients, and range size were not key determinants.

Non-linear relationship between elevation and seasonal growth continuity on an island with trade wind-influenced water availability
Climatic seasonality drives ecosystem processes and influences plant species distribution. However, there is little understanding how different aspects of seasonality (in particular temperature and precipitation) affect...

Root condensed tannins vary over time, but are unrelated to leaf tannins
Although the negative effects of root herbivores on plant fitness are expected to be similar to those of aboveground herbivores, the study of belowground plant defenses is limited compared to the rich literature on...
Earlier snowmelt and warming lead to earlier but not necessarily more plant growth
In the Arctic, rapid warming due to climate change has led to earlier springs and increased plant production at a landscape scale. However, individual species in the tundra may respond differently to growth cues like...
