💡 Result 2: Why does this happen?
Competitive outcomes were driven by functional traits 🌿 :
• SLA (growth strategy) contributes to competitive effects
• AN, Fv/Fm, iWUE (photosynthesis & water-use efficiency) are involve in competition tolerance

💡 Result 1: Water availability shifts the balance.
• Under high water: lower ploidy levels (2x and 4x) outcompeted higher ploidy cytotypes
• Under drought: 6x and 12x gain the competitive edge
👉 Overall, we predict competitive exclusion, with coexistence only in 4x–12x (control) and 2x–4x (drought)

Last week we were in Pontevedra for the @sibecol-aeet-25.bsky.social congress! 🌿 I presented our work on how soil water availability shapes competitive dynamics between cytotypes in a polyploid complex 💧📊 Grateful for the inspiring talks & great discussions! #SIBECOL2025 #PlantEcology #Polyploidy
