Niche breadth is a unifying concept spanning diverse aspects of ecology, evolution, and
conservation biology. Niche breadth usually refers to the diversity of resources used or …

Autumn remains a relatively neglected season in climate change research in temperate and
arctic ecosystems. This neglect occurs despite the importance of autumn events, including …

Global climate change (GCC) increasingly threatens biodiversity through the loss of species,
and the transformation of entire ecosystems. Many species are challenged by the pace of …

Winter is a key driver of individual performance, community composition, and ecological
interactions in terrestrial habitats. Although climate change research tends to focus on …

Understory plant communities are an integral component of deciduous forests, playing a
vital role in the overall health of the ecosystem. However, remote sensing of understory plant …

Abstract Changes in the phenology of vegetation activity may accelerate or dampen rates of
climate change by altering energy exchanges between the land surface and the …

We review the evidence of how organisms and populations are currently responding to
climate change through phenotypic plasticity, genotypic evolution, changes in distribution …

Abstract Background and Aims Many individual studies have shown that the timing of leaf
senescence in boreal and temperate deciduous forests in the northern hemisphere is …

During leaf senescence, the final stage of leaf development, nutrients are recycled from
leaves to other organs, and therefore proper control of senescence is thus critical for plant …

Anthropogenic stress and disturbance of forest ecosystems (FES) has been increasing at all
scales from local to global. In rapidly changing environments, in-situ terrestrial FES …
