The growth conditions in different latitudes vary markedly with season, day length, light
quality and temperature. Many plant species have adapted well to the distinct environments …

Phenylpropanoids (PPs) belong to the largest group of secondary metabolites produced by
plants, mainly, in response to biotic or abiotic stresses such as infections, wounding, UV …

Epigenetic states and certain environmental responses in mammals and seed plants can
persist in the next sexual generation. These transgenerational effects have potential …

As sessile organisms, plants need to continuously adjust their responses to external stimuli
to cope with changing growth conditions. Since the seed dispersal range is often rather …

Abiotic stresses such as drought, cold, heat, and salinity are major factors that limit plant
growth and development and account for a major loss in crop productivity worldwide. Thus …

Assessing changes in plant functional traits along gradients is useful for understanding the
assembly of communities and their response to global and local environmental drivers …

Plant functional traits determine plant performance and have therefore the potential to shape
and predict species distributions along environmental gradients. This study analyses how …

Tropospheric ozone exercises pressure on vegetation in combination with other oxidative
factors such as strong sunlight, UV‐B radiation, high temperatures and water shortage. The …

Emerging from decades of intensive research into alpine timberlines, Trees at their Upper
Limit presents a complete modern synthesis of current knowledge on the ecophysiology of …

Recently, a novel paleoaltimetry method was presented using leaf stomatal frequency
response to the decline in CO2 partial pressure with altitude, and tested on California black …
