Figure 1.
Variations of leaf thickness (a) and leaf mass per unit area (LMA) (b) in Leymus chinensis along large-scale longitudinal gradient and their correlations with annual precipitation (c, d) and elevation (e, f) at the gradient in northeast China.
Bars are means (± SE) of 25–30 replications. Bars with the same lowercase letters indicate no statistically significant differences (P > 0.05).

Correlations of proline content and K+/Na+ in Leymus chinensis with annual precipitation (a, b) and elevation (c, d) along large-scale longitudinal gradient in northeast China.
Bars are means (± SE) of 30–35 replications.
