Genetic adaptation to soil acidification: experimental evidence from four grass species
Anthropogenic acidification has reduced soil pH and released potentially toxic aluminium (Al) ions in many regions. This investigation examines whether increased acidity has caused genetic adaptation to acidic conditions within the grass species Elymus caninus, Poa nemoralis, Deschampsia cespitosa and D. flexuosa. We sampled tussocks (genets) of each species in two regions of southern Sweden, diff
