Elevation Gradient Adaptation

Elevation Gradient Adaptation is a biological adaptation process in which plant species undergo divergent morphological, physiological, or phenological changes in response to varying environmental conditions along an altitudinal gradient, enabling colonization and specialization across distinct elevation zones within a geographic region.
