- Observation Most measured compounds followed a daily rhythm, peaking at midday and reaching minima at night.
- Association Total antioxidants increased with altitude.
- Observation Plant species differed in their responses to the greater stress associated with altitude.
- Mechanism The authors suggest lower temperature combined with stronger light induces higher antioxidant contents.
