Plant genetic variation drives geographic differences in atmosphere–plant–ecosystem feedbacks

Why this research Matters The objective of this study was to understand how genetic variation in a riparian species, Populus angustifolia, affects mass and energy exchange between the land and atmosphere across ~1,700 km of latitude of the western United States. To examine the potential for large‐sc...
