Phylogeny explained most of the variability in leaf chemical composition among species, but affinity to gypsum soils and environmental conditions had also a significant effect PERMANOVA showed that the effects of phylogeny, ecological adaptation to gypsum (gypsovag/narrow gypsophile/wide gypsophile) and environmental conditions (soil, MAT and MAP) on the elemental composition of leaves of Iberian gypsum plants were highly significant (Table 3 ).
