Climate change is causing extensive alterations to ecosystems globally, with some more
vulnerable than others. Alpine ecosystems, characterised by low-temperatures and …

Plant adaptation to drought has been extensively studied at many scales from ecology to
molecular biology across a large range of model species. However, the conceptual …

The natural genetic diversity of agricultural species is an essential genetic resource for
breeding programs aiming to improve their ecosystem and production services. A large …

Conservation managers are under increasing pressure to make decisions about the
allocation of finite resources to protect biodiversity under a changing climate. However, the …

Mediterranean ecosystems are predicted to undergo longer and more intense summer
droughts. The mechanisms underlying the response of herbaceous communities to such …

Abstract Background and Aims More intense droughts under climate change threaten
species resilience. Hydraulic strategies determine drought survival in woody plants but have …

High mountain ecosystems are vulnerable to the effects of climate warming and Australia's
alpine vegetation has been identified as particularly vulnerable. Between 2004 and 2010 …

Changes in some combination of niche availability, niche overlap and the strength of
interspecific interactions are thought to drive changes in plant composition along resource …

Alpine plants in Australia are increasingly exposed to more frequent drought and
heatwaves, with significant consequences for physiological stress responses. Acclimation is …

Predicted changes in the frequency and intensity of extreme rainfall events in the UK have
the potential to disrupt terrestrial ecosystem function. However, responses of different trophic …
