Leaf isoprene emission as a trait that mediates the growth-defense tradeoff in the face of climate stress.

abstract：:Demographic, functional, or habitat diversity can confer stability on populations via portfolio effects (PEs) that integrate across multiple ecological responses and buffer against environmental impacts. The prevalence of these PEs in aquatic organisms is as yet unknown, and can be difficult to quantify; however, unde...
