Yanyan Zhang et al. examined the species relationships in #QuercusVariabilis #TemperateSecondaryForests across the three different #Elevation ranges using the niche and the Hegyi competition method.

📍 The species relationships in #QuercusVariabilis natural #TemperateSecondaryForests across lower, medium, and higher #Elevation areas

Results:
Elevation ⬆️, dominant position of Q. variabilis ⬆️, interspecific relationship ➡️ competition, intraspecific competition > interspecific competition

Yanhua Zhu et al. studied the #QuercusVariabilis populations as the research object, found that their #LeafTrichomes possess highly adaptive variation and are in close coordination with #Stomata in response to #ClimateChange.
