Climate niche models project that subalpine forest ranges will extend upslope with climate
warming. These projections assume that the climate suitable for adult trees will be adequate …

Species distribution shifts in response to climate change require that recruitment increase
beyond current range boundaries. For trees with long life spans, the importance of climate …

In response to climate warming, subalpine treelines are expected to move up in elevation
since treelines are generally controlled by growing season temperature. Where treeline is …

The most widespread response to global warming among alpine treeline ecotones is not an
upward shift, but an increase in tree density. However, the impact of increasing density on …

Forests are expected to expand into alpine areas because of climate warming, causing land-
cover change and fragmentation of alpine habitats. However, this expansion will only occur …

Robust tree regeneration following high‐severity wildfire is key to the resilience of subalpine
and boreal forests, and 21st century climate could initiate abrupt change in forests if postfire …

Continued changes in climate are projected to alter the geographic distributions of plant
species, in part by affecting where individuals can establish from seed. We tested the …

Abstract Background and Aims The response of forest herb regeneration from seed to
temperature variations across latitudes was experimentally assessed in order to forecast the …

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 …

For trees, fast growth rates and large size seem to be a fitness benefit because of increased
competitiveness, attainment of reproductive size earlier, reduction of generation times, and …
