Deep roots delay flowering and relax the impact of floral traits and associated pollinators in steppe plants.
Strong seasonality in abiotic harshness and pollinator availability shape the reproductive success of plants. Plant species can avoid or can tolerate harsh abiotic conditions and can attract different pollinators, but it remains unknown (i) which of these capacities is most important for flowering p...
