Microclimate predicts frost hardiness of alpine Arabidopsis thaliana populations better than elevation
Abstract In mountain regions, topological differences on the microscale can strongly affect microclimate and may counteract the average effects of elevation, such as decreasing temperatures. While these interactions are well understood, their effect on plant adaptation is understudied. We investigat...
