- Patterns in intraspecific variation in root traits are species‐specific along an elevation gradient (2020, background): “High-elevation soils are usually more heterogeneous in terms of soil nutrient availability (Holtmeier & Broll, 2005), and less fertile than soils at lower altitudes (Sveinbjornsson et al., 1995), as cooler temperatures slow down microbial activity (Loomis et al., 2006; Mayor et al., 2017),…”
