Phenotypic plasticity in wild Camellia japonica across climatic zones: responses to variations in soil moisture and light intensity

Abstract Background and aims Phenotypic plasticity is recognized as the important driver of adapting to the heterogeneous habitats and environment changes. The climate variability hypothesis suggests that plant populations in high latitudes experience greater environmental fluctuations and may exhib...
