Abstract
The ecological significance of plasticity in twelve lakeshore plant species was investigated by examining the relationship of plasticity to growth form, competitive ability and position along an environmental gradient of soil organic matter content. Study species occupied different positions along the gradient and had a variety of growth forms, including basal rosettes, creeping graminoids, and stemmed, leafy dicots. Plasticity was measured in plants grown singly along an experimental gradient of soil organic matter content for one growing season. The degree of platicity exhibited by a species was not significantly related to its competitive ability measured in a diallel experiment
