Plants in alpine ecosystems are trans exposed not only to overall extreme climatic conditions but also to an enormous spatial and temporal variability in environmental factors. Water relations, as a central physiological aspect of plant life, are adjusted to this environment and mirror its extraordinary heterogeneity. In temperate mountains, plants also have to overcome pronounced contrasts between the hydraulic situation in summer and winter.
