Morpho‐physiological variation of Poa alpina L. genetic resources from the Rhaetian Alps, Italy, grown in two altitude‐contrasting sites
Abstract Alpine bluegrass ( P oa alpina L .) is common in mountain areas, where it represents a valuable forage resource and is widely used for ecological restoration of disturbed landscapes. This study assessed the variation of germplasm from the R haetian A lps, I taly. Both seed production and mo...
