Forest ecosystems in the Mediterranean Basin are mostly situated in the north of the Basin
(mesic). In the most southern and dry areas, the forest can only exist where topography …

Climate change, alteration of atmospheric composition, land abandonment in some areas
and land use intensification in others, wildfires and biological invasions threaten forests …

High-elevation trees cannot always reach the thermal treeline, the potential upper range
limit set by growing-season temperature. But delineation of the realized upper range limit of …

Changes in climate are affecting the distribution and status of species on a global scale,
through alteration of factors including their phenology, growth and ecological interactions …

The distributions of biomes worldwide are predicted to shift as vegetation tracks climate
change. Ecologists often use coarse-scale climate models to predict these shifts along broad …

This new approach to insect modeling discusses population dynamics' regularities, control
theory, theory of transitions, and describes methods of population dynamics and outbreaks …

Significant treeline advance can only occur with successful establishment, growth, and
survival of new seedlings. Several studies have examined microsite factors at single …

Abstract Purpose of Review Numerous studies have reported that treelines are moving to
higher elevations and latitudes over the last few decades. Climate change is assumed to be …

The expected and already observed increment in frequency of extreme climatic events may
result in severe vegetation shifts. However, stabilizing mechanisms promoting community …
