What is the role of disturbance in catalyzing spatial shifts in forest composition and tree species biomass under climate change?
Mounting evidence suggests that climate change will cause shifts of tree species range and
abundance (biomass). Abundance changes under climate change are likely to occur prior to …

Environmental change controls postglacial forest dynamics through interspecific differences in life‐history traits
T Lacourse - Ecology, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
A key goal of functional ecology is identifying relationships between species traits and
environmental conditions. Here, the nature and significance of these relationships to …

Dual impacts of climate change: forest migration and turnover through life history
Tree species are predicted to track future climate by shifting their geographic distributions,
but climate‐mediated migrations are not apparent in a recent continental‐scale analysis. To …

Climatic change only stimulated growth for trees under weak competition in central boreal forests
Global change ecologists have often used trees under weak competition (eg
dominant/codominant trees) to examine relationships between climatic change and tree …

Ecological resilience and vegetation transition in the face of two successive large wildfires
Wildfire can both promote and erode resilience to future disturbances in fire‐adapted
ecosystems. Through a combination of past fire exclusion and climate change, fire patterns …

Species, climate and landscape physiography drive variable growth trends in subalpine forests
Forests around the world are undergoing rapid changes due to changing climate and
increasing physiological stress, but forest response to climate at the ecosystem scale can be …

Competition and facilitation may lead to asymmetric range shift dynamics with climate change
A Ettinger, J HilleRisLambers - Global change biology, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Forecasts of widespread range shifts with climate change stem from assumptions that
climate drives species' distributions. However, local adaptation and biotic interactions also …

Changing climate reallocates the carbon debt of frequent‐fire forests
Ongoing climate change will alter the carbon carrying capacity of forests as they adjust to
climatic extremes and changing disturbance regimes. In frequent‐fire forests, increasing …
