Germination season and watering regime, but not seed morph, affect life history traits in a cold desert diaspore-heteromorphic annual.

Seed morph, abiotic conditions and time of germination can affect plant fitness, but few studies have tested their combined effects on plasticity of plant life history traits. Thus, we tested the hypothesis that seed morph, germination season and watering regime influence phenotypic expression of po...
