Drought will increasingly threaten forest ecosystems worldwide. Understanding how
competition influences tree growth response to drought is essential for forest management …

Climate change is reshaping global vegetation through its impacts on plant mortality, but
recruitment creates the next generation of plants and will determine the structure and …

The benefits of masting (volatile, quasi-synchronous seed production at lagged intervals)
include satiation of seed predators, but these benefits come with a cost to mutualist pollen …

Predator satiation is the most commonly tested hypothesis that explains the evolutionary
advantages of masting. It proposes that masting benefits plant reproduction by reducing the …

During the particularly severe hot summer drought in 2018, widespread premature leaf
senescence was observed in several broadleaved tree species in Central Europe …

High interannual variation in seed production in perennial plants can be synchronized at
subcontinental scales with wide consequences for ecosystem functioning, but how such …

Indirect climate effects on tree fecundity that come through variation in size and growth
(climate-condition interactions) are not currently part of models used to predict future forests …

Climate change has been shown to induce shifts in the timing of life‐history events. As a
result, interactions between species can become disrupted, with potentially detrimental …

Large interannual variation in seed production, called masting, is very common in wind-
pollinated tree populations and has profound implications for the dynamics of forest …

Significant gaps remain in understanding the response of plant reproduction to
environmental change. This is partly because measuring reproduction in long‐lived plants …
