Divergent selection across the landscape can favor the evolution of local adaptation in
populations experiencing contrasting conditions. Local adaptation is widely observed in a …

Evergreen species are widespread across the globe, representing two major plant functional
forms in terrestrial models. We reviewed and analysed the responses of photosynthesis and …

In recent years, scientists have realized that evolution can occur on timescales much shorter
than the" long lapse of ages" emphasized by Darwin—in fact, evolutionary change is …

Forecasted increase drought frequency and severity may drive worldwide declines in forest
productivity. Species‐level responses to a drier world are likely to be influenced by their …

Species are the unit of analysis in many global change and conservation biology studies;
however, species are not uniform entities but are composed of different, sometimes locally …

We synthesize insights from current understanding of drought impacts at stand‐to‐
biogeographic scales, including management options, and we identify challenges to be …

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 …

Rapid global climate change is posing a substantial threat to biodiversity. The assessment of
population vulnerability and adaptive capacity under climate change is crucial for informing …

Geographic variation in trees has been investigated since the mid‐18th century. Similar
patterns of clinal variation have been observed along latitudinal and elevational gradients in …

Local adaptation is a central feature of most species occupying spatially heterogeneous
environments, and may factor critically in responses to environmental change. However …
