Climate-driven in-situ trait variation in an annual ruderal grass across Europe

Helene Villhauer, Timo Hellwig, Anna E. Backhaus, Przemysław Baranow, Albane Bignon, José M. Blanco‐Moreno, Denise V. M. Blume, Anna Bomanowska, Milan Brankov, Luís Henrique Mendes da Silva, Andreas D. Drouzas, Walter Durka, Severin Einspanier, Arndt Hampe, Miloš Ilić, , Anna Bucharová

This study examines climate-driven trait variation in Hordeum murinum across Europe, finding that colder and wetter areas support larger plants with heavier seeds, while local vegetation density influences growth and reproductive traits.
