We measured three traits that indicate life history, morphological, and physiological responses to drought, including flowering time, stomatal density, and chlorophyll fluorescence. In the two coastal populations, where interannual moisture variation is greatest, we observed evolution only in stomatal density, while we observed plasticity in all measured traits. In contrast, the driest inland population showed no response to the drought or to the watering treatments, which is consistent with other studies that have found less response to drought in pre-adapted populations. Overall, our results suggest that plasticity is favored in variable environments.

This study focuses on the intraspecific phenotypic variation of the wild olive (<i>Olea europaea</i> subsp. <i>europaea</i> var. <i>sylvestris</i>), one of the most emblematic species of the Mediterranean Basin, widely distributed in Morocco. The research is based on measuring nine leaf and plant-size related traits in 130 trees across 13 populations under varying climate conditions and vegetation covers. The study explores the adaptive strategies of wild olive trees in response to increasing aridity and aridification. The results indicate that the nine traits exhibit significant covariation trends along environmental gradients, reflecting plant strategies related to resource acquisition, resource investment, and water use. Wild olive trees demonstrate substantial intraspecific variation both among and within populations in response to these environmental gradients. Climate, altitude, and vegetation cover together explain 93.8% of the trait covariations. The study elucidates the mechanisms underlying the adaptive strategies of wild olive trees to cope with stressful conditions. The findings suggest that wild olive trees adapt to stressful environments by adopting a conservative strategy, characterized by lower resource investment and higher water-use efficiency.
