Na Li et al. analyzed the radial growth trends and #ClimateSensitivity of Rhododendron aureum across #Elevations and encroachment gradients using linear and mixed-effects model methods, and explored the mediating roles of #SoilProperties and plant traits.

The growth of #RhododendronAureum and its precipitation sensitivity are more influenced by #Elevation, co-regulated by #SoilProperties and plant size traits in alpine tundra; Soil conditions and leaf economic traits influence temperature sensitivity.

Gianalberto Losapio et al. addressed the effects of #GlacierRetreat on plant functional diversity by integrating plant traits with ecological indicator values across a 140-year chronosequence in a subalpine glacier landscape.
