Patterns of phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation in the wide elevation range of the alpine plant Arabis alpina (2018, background): “Short and compact stature, for example, is known to help plants to decouple their temperature from atmospheric temperatures, hence helping to keep photosynthetic activity sufficiently efficient, as is illustrated by cushion plants (Körner, 2003).”
Running off the road: roadside non-native plants invading mountain vegetation (2018, result): “The increase in the proportion of perennial species with increasing elevation—and corresponding reduction in the proportion of annuals—is consistent with global trends and explained by the difficultly of completing the life-cycle within a single growing season at high elevation (Körner 2003).”
