The expression of functional traits during seedling establishment in two populations of Pinus ponderosa from contrasting climates

Creator:

Kerr, Kelly L.

Abstract:

Vegetation patterns and species distributions are strongly linked to soil moisture regimes, and populations within a species from contrasting climatic regimes could exhibit differences in the degree to which certain functional traits related to establishment are expressed. Tree seedling survival is crucial for forest regeneration, and thus may be a...

Approaches for Characterizing Plant Physiological Responses to Environmental Stress

Creator:

Marias, Danielle E.

Abstract:

It is uncertain how predicted changes in climate will impact vegetation responses and plant species’ distributions because the physiological mechanisms underlying thresholds for damage are not well understood, and responses to stress vary by functional type and developmental stage. Thus, it is crucial to investigate physiological responses to heat and...
