💡 #LatitudinalVariation in #LeafFunctionalTraits of an invasive salt-marsh plant and its relationship with #GrowthPerformance.
Object: #SpartinaAlterniflora.
Results:
1️⃣ #GeographicalVariation ➡️ climate & sedimentary variables;
2️⃣ #GeneticDifferentiation ➡️ leaf size & thickness & leaf area;
3️⃣ #PhenotypicPlasticity ➡️ leaf density & dry matter content.

The results obtained by Xiaoping Chen et al. reveal a complex intersection of #LeafFunctionalTraits. For any given #LeafPhosphorus, #EvergreenSpecies have a higher #CarbonUseEfficiency than #DeciduousSpecies, but #PhotosyntheticNitrogenUseEfficiency is significantly higher in deciduous species compared with evergreen species.
