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 …

Forest ecology traditionally focuses on plant growth and survival, leaving seed production as
a major demographic process lacking a framework for how it will be affected by global …

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 …

Aim Species distribution models typically project climatically suitable habitat for trees in
eastern North America to shift hundreds of kilometres this century. We simulated potential …

Our overall objective is to synthesize mast-seeding data on North American Pinaceae to
detect characteristic features of reproduction (ie development cycle length, serotiny …

Climate warming increases tree mortality which will require sufficient reproduction to ensure
population viability. However, the response of tree reproduction to climate change remains …

The mechanisms underlying mast seeding have traditionally been studied by collecting long-
term observational data on seed crops and correlating seedfall with environmental …

The periodic production of large seed crops, or masting, is a widespread phenomenon in
perennial plants. This behavior can enhance the reproductive efficiency of plants, leading to …

Climate change is altering patterns of seed production worldwide [1–4], but the potential for
evolutionary responses to these changes is poorly understood. Masting (synchronous …

Masting describes the spatiotemporal variability in seed production by a population of
plants. Both abiotic and biotic factors drive masting, but the importance of these factors can …
