Fig. 5From: New field wind manipulation methodology reveals adaptive responses of steppe plants to increased and reduced wind speedShoot property traits linked to wind resistance in four plant species under different wind treatments: a Stem cellulose content, b Young’s modulus (E), c Second moment of area (I), and d Flexural stiffness (EI). Decrease, CK (ambient) and Increase refer to wind velocity treatments. Different lowercase letters indicate significant differences among treatments at p < 0.05. The error bars are plotted by means ± SEBack to article page
