Effect of elevation and canopy condition on morphological traits and leaf fluctuating asymmetry of a bamboo, Chimonobambusa utilis in Jinfo Mountain Nature Reserve, Southwest China

Due to widespread distribution of dwarf bamboo, Chimonobambusa utilis, in mountain environment, the effects of elevation (low and high) and canopy condition (forest understorey and forest edge) on the clonal morphology and leaf fluctuating asymmetry were investigated in an evergreen broadleaves fore...
