The impacts of increasing drought on forest dynamics, structure, and biodiversity in the United States
We synthesize insights from current understanding of drought impacts at stand‐to‐
biogeographic scales, including management options, and we identify challenges to be …

Mechanisms of mast seeding: resources, weather, cues, and selection
Mast seeding is a widespread and widely studied phenomenon. However, the physiological
mechanisms that mediate masting events and link them to weather and plant resources are …

Mechanisms underpinning climatic impacts on natural populations: altered species interactions are more important than direct effects
Shifts in species' distribution and abundance in response to climate change have been well
documented, but the underpinning processes are still poorly understood. We present the …

Evidence of current impact of climate change on life: a walk from genes to the biosphere
We review the evidence of how organisms and populations are currently responding to
climate change through phenotypic plasticity, genotypic evolution, changes in distribution …

Is there tree senescence? The fecundity evidence
Despite its importance for forest regeneration, food webs, and human economies, changes
in tree fecundity with tree size and age remain largely unknown. The allometric increase with …

Masting is uncommon in trees that depend on mutualist dispersers in the context of global climate and fertility gradients
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 …

[HTML][HTML] Plant-soil interactions in Mediterranean forest and shrublands: impacts of climatic change
J Sardans, J Peñuelas - Plant and soil, 2013 - Springer
Abstract Background In the Mediterranean climate, plants have evolved under conditions of
low soil-water and nutrient availabilities and have acquired a series of adaptive traits that, in …

Climate change vulnerability assessment of species
Assessing species' vulnerability to climate change is a prerequisite for developing effective
strategies to conserve them. The last three decades have seen exponential growth in the …
