Effects of resource limitation on the essential oil production in Ledum palustre ssp decumbens (Ait.) Hultén
To understand the relationship between resource limitation and essential oil production of the widely-distributed boreal/arctic shrub, Ledum palustre ssp decumbens, I documented naturally occurring variation of essential oils over a growing season withfield collections along a latitudinal transect s...

To understand the relationship between resource limitation and essential oil production of the widely-distributed boreal/arctic shrub, Ledum palustre ssp decumbens, I documented naturally occurring variation of essential oils over a growing season withfield collections along a latitudinal transect spanning boreal forest to arctic tundra.

The essential oil composition varied significantly along thetransect in the number of detectable components, but the relationships among resources and essential oil production were complex. In the manipulation experiment, essential oil components varied greatly among the treatments, with significant differences in the qualitative expression of the specific essential oil components.
