Allometric scaling relationships of Larix potaninii subsp. chinensis traits across topographical gradients

Allometric scaling relationships of Larix potaninii subsp. chinensis traits across topographical gradients

The variation of phenotypic traits with environmental gradient can reveal the plant adapting strategies and predict reactions to future climate changes. However, it remains elusive, especially for alpine timberline tree species. To quantify the variation and explore the patterns of twig, leaf, stoma...
