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 …

In the framework of sustainable forest management, measuring site quality and predicting
site productivity remain a major forestry topic. Over the past years, it has been fostered by a …

Large volumes of gridded climate data have become available in recent years including
interpolated historical data from weather stations and future predictions from general …

Species distribution modeling is a valuable tool with many applications across ecology and
evolutionary biology. The selection of biologically meaningful environmental variables that …

South America's tropical dry forests and savannas are under increasing pressure from
agricultural expansion. Cattle ranching and soybean production both drive these forest …

When confronted with an adaptive challenge, such as extreme temperature, closely related
species frequently evolve similar phenotypes using the same genes. Although such …

Climate warming is predicted to alter ecological boundaries in high‐latitude ecosystems
including the elevational or latitudinal extent of tall shrubs in Arctic and alpine tundra. Over …

Forest trees are dominant components of terrestrial ecosystems that have global ecological
and economic importance. Despite distributions that span wide environmental gradients …

Stand-level spatial pattern influences key aspects of resilience and ecosystem function such
as disturbance behavior, regeneration, snow retention, and habitat quality in frequent-fire …

Understanding the processes determining species range limits is central to predicting
species distributions under climate change. Projected future ranges are extrapolated from …
