Trade-off strategies between drought resistance and growth rate of dominant tree species in karst forests within heterogeneous habitats

Trade-off strategies between drought resistance and growth rate of dominant tree species in karst forests within heterogeneous habitats

Abstract This study investigates drought resistance-growth trade-offs in dominant tree species across elevationally stratified habitats (depression, middle slope, hilltop) of Nonggang karst seasonal rainforest in southwestern China. Analysis of 38 species along a 190-meter aridity gradient reveals d...
