Thermal Decoupling May Promote Cooling and Avoid Heat Stress in Alpine Plants

In alpine ecosystems, where low temperatures predominate, prostrate growth forms play a crucial role in thermal resistance by enabling thermal decoupling from ambient conditions, thereby creating a warmer microclimate. However, this strategy may be maladaptive during frequent heatwaves driven by cli...
