Canopy traits reveal climate-associated genetic differentiation in a California oak common garden
Background and Aims. Phenotypic variation in plant populations reflecting historical climate adaptation may affect performance under future climates. In long-lived trees, height and stem diameter are commonly used to assess growth, but these measures may not fully capture complementary structural and functional dimensions of performance, such as canopy development and vigor. We investigated…
