Tree species persistence under warming conditions: A key driver of forest response to climate change
From a forest management stand point, it is crucial to know which ecological processes are
most likely to drive changes in tree species distributions and abundance under warming …

Climate drives episodic conifer establishment after fire in dry ponderosa pine forests of the Colorado Front Range, USA
In recent years, warming climate and increased fire activity have raised concern about post-
fire recovery of western US forests. We assessed relationships between climate variability …

California forests show early indications of both range shifts and local persistence under climate change
JM Serra‐Diaz, J Franklin, WW Dillon… - Global Ecology and …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Aim Forest regeneration data provide an early signal of the persistence and migration of tree
species, so we investigated whether species shifts due to climate change exhibit a common …

Spatial and temporal drivers of post-fire tree establishment and height growth in a managed forest landscape
Background In seed-obligate conifer forests of the western US, land managers need a better
understanding of the spatiotemporal variability in post-fire recovery to develop adaptation …

Experimental warming alters spring phenology of certain plant functional groups in an early successional forest community
CR Rollinson, MW Kaye - Global Change Biology, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Experimental study of the effects of projected climate change on plant phenology allows us
to isolate effects of warming on life‐history events such as leaf out. We simulated a 2° C …

Fire interval and post-fire climate effects on serotinous forest resilience
Background Climate change is eroding forest resilience to disturbance directly through
warming climate and indirectly through increasing disturbance activity. Forests characterized …

Ability of seedlings to survive heat and drought portends future demographic challenges for five southwestern US conifers
JL Crockett, MD Hurteau - Tree Physiology, 2024 - academic.oup.com

Microclimate through space and time: microclimatic variation at the edge of regeneration forests over daily, yearly and decadal time scales
A major aim of sustainable forest management is the maintenance or recolonisation of
harvested areas by species that were present pre-disturbance. Forest influence (a type of …

Quantifying climate–growth relationships at the stand level in a mature mixed‐species conifer forest
A range of environmental factors regulate tree growth; however, climate is generally thought
to most strongly influence year‐to‐year variability in growth. Numerous dendrochronological …
