Phosphate absorption capacity and acclimation potential in plants along a latitudinal gradient
Chapin FS. 1974. Phosphate absorption capacity and acclimation potential in plants along a latitudinal gradient. Science. 183(4142):521-523
The capacity for phosphate absorption by marsh plants is negatively correlated with the soil temperature of the habitat of origin. Species and races from thermally fluctuating environments achieve greater compensatory changes in the phosphate absorption rate through temperature acclimation than their counterparts from more stable environments.
