Many natural disturbances have a strong climate forcing, and concern is rising about how
ecosystems will respond to disturbance regimes to which they are not adapted. Novelty can …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Background Allergic diseases, especially inhalation allergies, have reached epidemic levels
and environmental factors play an important role in their development. Climate change …

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

Masting, the intermittent and synchronous production of large seed crops, can have
profound consequences for plant populations and the food webs that are built on their …

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 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 …
