Tolerance of Warmer Temperatures Does Not Confer Resilience to Heatwaves in an Alpine Herb

Tolerance of Warmer Temperatures Does Not Confer Resilience to Heatwaves in an Alpine Herb

Climate change is generating both sustained trends in average temperatures and higher frequency and intensity of extreme events. This poses a serious threat to biodiversity, especially in vulnerable environments, like alpine systems. Phenotypic plasticity is considered to be an adaptive mechanism to...
