Environmental filtering rather than phylogeny determines plant leaf size in three floristically distinctive plateaus

Leaf is essential for plant growth and development; however, the relative importance of environmental filtering and phylogeny in determining leaf size across different spatial scales in grassland ecosystems remains poorly explored. We used transect methodology to explore the spatial variation in lea...
