Ecosystems are dynamic systems with complex responses to environmental variation. In
response to pervasive stressors of changing climate and disturbance regimes, many …

Intraspecific variation plays a critical role in extant and future forest responses to climate
change. Forest tree species with wide climatic niches rely on the intraspecific variation …

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 …

Predicted increases in temperature and aridity across the boreal forest region have the
potential to alter timber supply and carbon sequestration. Given the widely-observed …

As climate change progresses, we are observing widespread changes in phenotypes in
many plant populations. Whether these phenotypic changes are directly caused by climate …

Genetic diversity provides the basic substrate for evolution, yet few studies assess the
impacts of global climate change (GCC) on intraspecific genetic variation. In this review, we …

In a rapidly changing climate, alpine plants may persist by adapting to new conditions.
However, the rate at which the climate is changing might exceed the rate of adaptation …

• Premise of the study: Near‐future climate changes are likely to elicit major vegetation
changes. Disequilibrium dynamics, which occur when vegetation comes out of equilibrium …

During the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM),∼ 56 Mya, thousands of
petagrams of carbon were released into the ocean-atmosphere system with attendant …
