Finally, we tested several #sampling efforts to find out the best sampling strategy in order to reflect #intraindividual variability in population and community trait-based studies. Generally, accounting for several #ramets per clone emerged as the best strategy.

We also explored the potential environmental causes of #intraindividual variability across species. We found little relationship with local #climatic variables except for SLA. Most likely, microclimate is playing a role here.

Alba Anadon-Rosell @albaanadon.bsky.social · 5d

Within each species, we found very large values of #intraindividual variability. Sometimes, the variability within the individual reached, by far, greater values than the variability across #genotypes or #populations.

Alba Anadon-Rosell @albaanadon.bsky.social · 5d

We found that a significant amount of variability occurred within the individual (both between and within #ramets of the same genetic individual) when looking across species

🌲 Boreal-tundra species drive Arctic plant borealization 🌲

Our new study in #EcologyLetters quantifies tundra plant borealization, assesses its main drivers and identifies the species & traits contributing to borealization.

This study documents extensive intraindividual trait variability (variability among repeated units within an individual) within clonal plants for both size-architectural and leaf traits (up to 100% of total). Congrats to @albaanadon.bsky.social and co-authors !
