Inter- and Intraspecific Variation Patterns of Leaf Phenotypic Traits in Two Sympatric Pine Species

Inter- and Intraspecific Variation Patterns of Leaf Phenotypic Traits in Two Sympatric Pine Species

Individual persistence under changing climate conditions can be aided by phenotypic plasticity. Needle morphology reflects pine species’ adaptation to their habitats, and adaptive plasticity is beneficial to pine survival. As two closely related pines, <i>Pinus</i><i>massoniana<...
