Although it has long been recognized that seed production by many forest trees varies
greatly from year to year, masting (along with 'mast fruiting','mast seeding'and 'masting …

Climate change leads to global drought-induced stress and increased plant mortality. Tree
species living in rapidly changing climate conditions are exposed to danger and must adapt …

Highly variable and synchronised production of seeds by plant populations, known as
masting, is implicated in many important ecological processes, but how it arises remains …

Resource pulses are rare events with a short duration and high magnitude that drive the
dynamics of both plant and animal populations and communities. Mast seeding is perhaps …

Synchronised and quasi‐periodic production of seeds by plant populations, known as
masting, is implicated in many ecological processes, but how it arises remains poorly …

Spatial synchrony, the tendency for populations across space to show correlated
fluctuations, is a fundamental feature of population dynamics, linked to central topics of …

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 …

In mast‐seeding species, strong annual variation in seed production is assumed to drive
seed fate and ultimately plant recruitment. However, the effects of temporal variation in seed …

Spatial synchrony is the tendency of spatially separated populations to display similar
temporal fluctuations. Synchrony affects regional ecosystem functioning, but it remains …

Many plant species present inter-annual cycles of seed production (mast seeding), with
synchronized high seed production across populations in some years. Weather is believed …
