- Summary:
- The effects of climate change on the growth and adaptation of native montane plants on the slopes of Mauna Kea have been studied. Contrary to the authors' hypothesis, 75.2% of seedlings from high-elevation origin survived in comparison to 58.7% of seedlings from low elevation across the entire elevation gradient.
