CSR Strategies Are Associated With Elemental Leaf Chemistry in Alpine Plants

The overall balance of multiple chemical elements in plant tissue has likely great adaptive significance for species in natural environments. By using alpine plants as a study system, we examined the relationship between a species' position within the Competitiveness–Stress–Tolerance–Ruderal (CSR) strategy scheme and the chemical elemental composition in its leaves.
