Effects of Added Water on Photosynthesis of Bistorta vivipara: The Importance of Water Relations and Leaf Nitrogen in Two Alpine Communities, Pikes Peak, Colorado, U.S.A.
TL;DR: In this paper, photosynthetic, water relations, and leaf nitrogen responses of Bistorta vivipara, a wide-ranging alpine species, to added water were measured in order to determine the extent to which water limits the growth of the species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tropical forest leaves may darken in response to climate change.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured leaf traits and leaf albedo at ten 1-ha plots along a 3,200m elevation gradient in Peru and found that the distribution of leaf mass per area (LMA) decreased with warmer temperatures along the elevation gradient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Controls on Radial Growth of Mountain Big Sagebrush and Implications for Climate Change
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of temperature, precipitation, and snow depth on sagebrush annual ring width for 1969 to 2007 in the Gunnison Basin of Colorado were analyzed. And the results showed that water stress and perhaps especially maximum snow depth appear to limit growth of this species.

Plant Functional Trait Variation in Tropical Dry Forests: A Review and Synthesis
TL;DR: Across environmental gradients, shifts in functional traits at the whole-plant level are consistent with a trade-off between rapid biomass production and efficient nutrient conservation.
