The relative roles of local climate adaptation and phylogeny in determining leaf-out timing of temperate tree species

Abstract Background Leaf out times of temperate forest trees are a prominent determinant of global carbon dynamics throughout the year. Abiotic cues of leaf emergence are well studied but investigation of the relative roles of shared evolutionary history (phylogeny) and local adaptation to climate i...
