We found that (1) biochemical traits did not covary with structural traits and represent independent 'photoharvesting-photoprotection' strategy dimension of functional variation, (2) interactive effects of climate of origin and cultivation were more pronounced for biochemical than structural traits. (3) Trait plasticity was affected by the climate of origin (precipitation and temperature as well as their interaction), (4) F. rubra showed both adaptive and maladaptive plasticity, and adaptiveness depended upon trait type, cultivation climate and climate of origin. Overall, our results suggest that structural and biochemical plant traits respond differentially to climate and thus the response of one group of traits cannot be predicted from the other. Responses are also strongly determined by interactions between the climate of origin and cultivation. Thus, more studies on variation in biochemical traits, their correspondence to other traits, and their variation with climate are needed.
