The importance of ecophysiological traits in response of Festuca rubra to changing climate

Veronika Kosova et al.

Summary: The study revealed strong phenotypic plasticity and genetic differentiation in the clonal grass Festuca rubra, suggesting its potential ability to adapt to new climatic conditions. The main challenge for the plants is increasing moisture leading to hypoxia exposure, but they can respond by altering stomatal size and density and osmotic potential. Despite weak selection pressure, the plants do not exhibit strong local adaptation, indicating their capacity to adjust to novel conditions.

Adjustments in physiological and morphological traits suggest drought-induced competitive release of some California plants

Justin C. Luong et al.

Summary: Drought and competition have an impact on the expression of morphological and physiological traits in California plants. Different plants show diverse responses to drought and competition, with trait adjustments related to resource conservatism, acquisition, and above- vs belowground allocation. Drought primarily affects physiological traits, such as leaf gas exchange, while competition has a greater impact on morphological traits.

Germination response to water availability in populations of Festuca pallescens along a Patagonian rainfall gradient based on hydrotime model parameters

Aldana S. Lopez et al.

Summary: The research found significant differences in hydrotime model parameters among different populations of Festuca pallescens, indicating physiological adaptation to local environments. Populations at the extremes of the distribution gradient showed higher hydrotime parameter values, suggesting germination may be hindered or delayed under suboptimal conditions for the species.
