Plasticity in plant populations may be constrained by performance costs, complex environments and weakly integrated phenotypes
Abstract Background and Aims One response of plants to climate warming is plasticity of traits, but plasticity might come at a cost and might be limited by the integration among traits or by simultaneous shift of another environmental condition such as shading. Empirical studies treating simultaneou...
