Plants are exposed to heterogeneity in the environment where new stress factors (ie, climate
change, land use change, and invasiveness) are introduced, and where inter‐and …

Evolutionary responses are required for tree populations to be able to track climate change.
Results of 250 years of common garden experiments show that most forest trees have …

As climate change progresses, we are observing widespread changes in phenotypes in
many plant populations. Whether these phenotypic changes are directly caused by climate …

Despite the numerous studies which have been conducted during the past decade on
species ranges and their relationship to the environment, our understanding of how …

Ecology Letters (2012) 15: 378–392 Abstract Forest trees are the dominant species in many
parts of the world and predicting how they might respond to climate change is a vital global …

Climate is a potent selective force in natural populations, yet the importance of adaptation in
the response of plant species to past climate change has been questioned. As many species …

Populations are locally adapted when populations have the highest relative fitness at their
home sites, and lower fitness in other parts of the range. Results from the extensive …

Rapid climate change is likely to impose strong selection pressures on traits important for
fitness, and therefore, microevolution in response to climate‐mediated selection is …

Abstract Changes to forest production drivers (light, water, temperature, and site nutrient)
over the last 55 years have been documented in peer‐reviewed literature. The main …

• Premise of the study: Archaeological and genetic analyses of seed‐propagated annual
crops have greatly advanced our understanding of plant domestication and evolution …
