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 …

A key goal of functional ecology is identifying relationships between species traits and
environmental conditions. Here, the nature and significance of these relationships to …

Climate, disturbance, vegetation response and their interaction are key factors in predicting
the distribution and function of ecosystems across landscapes. A range of factors, operating …

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 …

Global change ecologists have often used trees under weak competition (eg
dominant/codominant trees) to examine relationships between climatic change and tree …

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 …

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 …

Forecasts of widespread range shifts with climate change stem from assumptions that
climate drives species' distributions. However, local adaptation and biotic interactions also …

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 …

Resilience of endangered rear edge populations of cold‐adapted forests in the
Mediterranean basin is increasingly altered by extreme heatwave and drought pressures. It …
