摘 要:Aims Variation in precipitation strongly influences plant growth,species distributions and genetic *** variation in pheno-typic plasticity,the ability of a genotype to alter its growth,morphol-ogy or physiology in response to the environment,could influence species responses to changing precipitation and climate *** this,the patterns and mechanisms of intraspecific varia-tion in plasticity to variable precipitation,and the degree to which genotype responses to precipitation are influenced by variation in edaphic conditions,remain poorly ***,we determined whether genotypes of a widespread C_(4) grass(Panicum virgatum L.,switchgrass)varied in aboveground productivity in response to changes in precipitation,and if site edaphic conditions modified genotype aboveground productivity responses to *** also determined if genotype productivity responses to precipitation are related to plasticity in underlying growth and phenological *** Nine *** genotypes originating from an aridity gradient were grown under four treatments spanning the 10th to the 90th percentiles of annual precipitation at two sites in central Texas:one site with deep,fine-textured soils and another site with shallow,coarse-textured *** measured volumetric soil water content(VWC),aboveground net primary productivity(ANPP),tiller pro-duction(tiller number),average tiller mass,canopy height,leaf area index(LAi)and flowering time on all plants at both sites and examined genotype responses to changes in *** Findings Across precipitation treatments,VWC was 39%lower and more variable at the site with shallow,coarse-textured soils compared to the site with deep,fine-textured *** averaged across genotypes and precipita-tion treatments was also 103%higher at the site with deep,fine-textured soils relative to the site with shallow,coarse-textured soils,indicating substantial differences in site water limitation.W
