Integrating morphological, anatomical, and physiological traits to explain elevational distributions in Himalayan steppe and alpine plants

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Functional trait syndromes predict plant elevational optima across 310 Himalayan species. In alpine zones, small stature, storage tissue, and high δ13C/fructan drive cold adaptation; in steppe, height and clonality reflect drought and competition. Trait‐based models explain 61% of alpine optima, offering predictive power under climate change.
