Abstract:Plant responses to environmental heterogeneity depend on life-history
traits, which could relate to phenotypical and genetic characteristics.
To elucidate this relationship, we examined the variation in population
genetics and functional traits of short- and a long-lived Artemisia
species that are co-occurring in the steppes of Mongolia. Mongolian
steppes represent stressful, waterlimited habitats demanding phenotypic
modifications in the short term and/or genetic adaptation in the long
term. However, detailed… Show more
