Escape of spring frost and disease through phenological variations in oak populations along elevation gradients

TL;DR: The observed patterns suggest that oak populations are better adapted to escape spring frost than pathogen exposure all along the elevation gradient, and the combination of the biotic and abiotic selective pressures may have contributed to the maintenance of phenological diversity within low-elevation tree populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
