Climatic characterization of Bromus tectorum genotype source collection sites (n = 92) and common garden sites (n = 4). (a) Genotype source locations colored by their value along the principal component (PC) 1 climate axis, where high values of PC 1 = hot and dry, and low levels of PC 1 = cool and wet. Common garden sites are denoted as unfilled, larger shapes. (b) Genotype source locations colored by their value along the PC 2 climate axis, where high values of PC 2 = more pronounced temperature seasonality, and lower values of PC 2 = less pronounced seasonality. (c) Common garden sites classified by their longitude (x‐axis), elevation (y‐axis), value along the PC 1 axis (outer color) and PC 2 axis (inner color). Genotype source locations are overlaid as small gray points. BA, Baltzor; CH, Cheyenne; SS, Sheep Station; WI, Wildcat.

Plants respond to their environment with both short‐term, within‐generation trait plasticity, and long‐term, between‐generation evolutionary changes. However, the relative magnitude of plant responses to short‐ and long‐term changes in the environment remains poorly understood. Shifts in phenological traits can serve as harbingers for responses to...
