Interannual variability of seed production, known as masting, has far‐reaching ecological
impacts including effects on forest regeneration and the population dynamics of seed …

The present study attempts to characterise Fagaceae kernels as a promising source of
nutritional compounds for potential use as novel food ingredients. Thus, the proximate and …

Mast flowering and seeding is a well-known reproductive strategy of tree species with many
ecological consequences regulating synchronous year-to-year flowering intensity variations …

Fruit setting and ripening are crucial in the reproductive cycle of many desert plant species,
but their response to precipitation changes is still unclear. To clarify the response patterns, a …

Local communities, informed about the main post-fire environmental threats, applied land
restoration techniques after the 2017 Ponte Caldelas wildfire (Galicia, Spain). Volunteers …

Abstract Background and Aims Abiotic and biotic stresses related to climate change have
been associated with increased crown defoliation, decreased growth and a higher risk of …

In bears, reproduction is dependent on the body reserves accumulated during hyperphagia.
The Cantabrian brown bear mainly feeds on nuts during the hyperphagia period …

We studied the timing of budburst of valley oak (Quercus lobata Née) at Hastings
Reservation, central coastal California. Similar to other taxa, budburst was advanced by …

In the current era of climate change, the phenology of trees, ie, the timing of seasonal life-
cycle events, is evolving. Due to warming springs, leaf bud break has been observed to …

Climate change with its concomitant rising temperatures and altered precipitation patterns,
strongly affects ecosystems at a global scale with various consequences ranging from …
