Jade dynasty 20196/13/2023 repens responds to precipitation and temperature factors, which could explain its invasive behavior in a wide range of environments. Our results showed that leaf morphology of T. ![]() Morphological traits along abiotic and geographical gradients were analyzed, predictive distribution and current and future niches were modelled. A morphometric study was carried out using herbarium specimens that were then georeferenced to obtain environmental and distributional data. In this study, morphological variability patterns associated with abiotic factors were evaluated in Trifolium polymorphum, a native species distributed from southern Brazil to northern Patagonia, and Trifolium repens, a species introduced as an important forage crop and naturalized in diverse environments of southern South America. Previous studies compared native and alien invasive species in their ability to modify their morphology in reaction to climatic and edaphic factors however, taxonomically close species have been scarcely analyzed. The ability of a species to colonize new geographical areas is closely related to its morphological response to environmental gradients.
