At high elevation or latitude, trees reach low-temperature range limits. In attempting an
explanation, the range limits of individual tree species (set by freezing tolerance) and the …

Plant phenology research has gained increasing attention because of the sensitivity of
phenology to climate change and its consequences for ecosystem function. Recent …

Climate change is shifting the growing seasons of plants, affecting species performance and
biogeochemical cycles. Yet how the timing of autumn leaf senescence in Northern …

What is addressed as growing season in terrestrial ecosystems is one of the main
determinants of annual plant biomass production globally. However, there is no well …

Extreme climate events (ECEs) such as severe droughts, heat waves, and late spring frosts
are rare but exert a paramount role in shaping tree species distributions. The frequency of …

While climate warming reduces the occurrence of frost events, the warming-induced
lengthening of the growing season of plants in the Northern Hemisphere may actually …

Generations of plant scientists have been fascinated by alpine plant life-with the exposure of
organisms to dramatic climatic gradients over a very short distance. This comprehensive text …

Late-spring frosts (LSFs) affect the performance of plants and animals across the world's
temperate and boreal zones, but despite their ecological and economic impact on …

Winters and early springs are predicted to become warmer in temperate climates under
continued global warming, which in turn is expected to promote earlier plant development …

In the face of climate change, populations have two survival options− they can remain in situ
and tolerate the new climatic conditions (“stay”), or they can move to track their climatic …
