Remote sensing has transformed the monitoring of life on Earth by revealing spatial and
temporal dimensions of biological diversity through structural, compositional and functional …

We present unresolved questions in plant abiotic stress biology as posed by 15 research
groups with expertise spanning eco-physiology to cell and molecular biology. Common …

Rainfall regimes are expected to shift on a regional scale as the water cycle intensifies in a
warmer climate, resulting in greater extremes in dry versus wet conditions. Such changes …

Because of human action, the Earth has entered an era where profound changes in the
global environment are creating novel conditions that will be discernable far into the future …

One of ecology's grand challenges is developing general rules to explain and predict highly
complex systems. Understanding and predicting ecological processes from species' traits …

It is increasingly important to improve our understanding of the genetic basis of local
adaptation because of its relevance to climate change, crop and animal production, 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 …

An increasing number of short‐term experimental studies show significant effects of
projected ocean warming and ocean acidification on the performance on marine organisms …
