Snow is an important driver of ecosystem processes in cold biomes. Snow accumulation
determines ground temperature, light conditions, and moisture availability during winter. It …

Studying the genetics of adaptation to new environments in ecologically and industrially
important tree species is currently a major research line in the fields of plant science and …

The alpine belt hosts the treeless vegetation above the high elevation climatic treeline. The
way alpine plants manage to thrive in a climate that prevents tree growth is through small …

Molecular evolution offers an insightful theory to interpret the genomic consequences of
thermal adaptation to previous events of climate change beyond range shifts. However …

Drought will reduce global crop production by> 10% in 2050 substantially worsening global
malnutrition. Breeding for resistance to drought will require accessing crop genetic diversity …

Global change is altering patterns of community assembly, with net outcomes dependent on
species' responses to the abiotic environment, both directly and mediated through biotic …

Some of the largest impacts of climate change are expected in the environmentally
heterogeneous and species rich high mountain ecosystems. Among those, the Neotropical …

Grafting induces precocity and maintains clonal integrity in fruit tree crops. However, the
complex rootstock× scion interaction often precludes understanding how the tree phenotype …

Plants are particularly sensitive to climate change in alpine ecosystem of the Tibetan
Plateau. The various mountain micro-climates provide a natural gradient for space-for-time …

Grafting is typically utilized to merge adapted seedling rootstocks with highly productive
clonal scions. This process implies the interaction of multiple genomes to produce a unique …
