The altitude had reverse effects on these parame- elevations, and coppicing changed the levels of endog- ters in belowground tissue. Coppicing changed the levels of enous hormones that are related to resprouting ability. IAA, CTK, and nitrate concentrations, as well as the CTK/ Abstract Little is known about how plant hormones and IAA ratios, but not their elevational patterns in either nitrate concentrations change in plants with increasing stumps or roots. These results imply that the elevational elevations, and whether the alpine treeline formation and patterns of plant hormones reflect mainly the effects of the decreased resprouting ability of plants at high eleva- altitude associated with gradual changes in temperature and tions are correlated with such changes. We studied tissue radiation condition on hormones along an elevational gra- hormones and nitrate concentrations in Quercus aquifo- dient.
