Physiological stress experienced by plants due to reduced water availability that can harm fitness by inducing leaf loss, reducing flower size, and decreasing seed production
Differential expression of genotypes across environmental conditions, indicating genetic variation in phenotypic plasticity
Differences in chromosome copy number among individuals, specifically diploid (two copies) versus triploid (three copies) chromosome sets
Rapid, synchronous mortality of aspen across large areas characterized by gradual sudden aspen decline associated with recent drought and temperature stress
A model selection criterion that balances goodness of fit with model complexity by penalizing models with more parameters
Vegetative reproduction producing genetically identical individuals, characteristic of quaking aspen forming cohesive clones with limited spatial interdigitation
Statistical modeling approach using spectral reflectance measurements to extrapolate functional trait values
