Species distributions are conventionally modelled using coarse‐grained macroclimate data
measured in open areas, potentially leading to biased predictions since most terrestrial …

With progressing climate change, increasing weather extremes will endanger tree
regeneration. Canopy openings provide light for tree establishment, but also reduce the …

Key message Different components of water balance and temperature reduce density and
height growth of saplings of Picea abies (L.) H. Karst (Norway spruce), Abies alba Mill.(silver …

Brief introduction: What are microclimates and why are they important? Microclimate science
has developed into a global discipline. Microclimate science is increasingly used to …

The direction and magnitude of species distribution shifts tend to differ among species and
functional types (FTs). Quantifying functional trait variation and species interactions will …

Aim The amount of forest edges is increasing globally due to forest fragmentation and land‐
use changes. However, edge effects on the soil seed bank of temperate forests are still …

Ecological and evolutionary theories have proposed that species traits should be important
in mediating species responses to contemporary climate change; yet, empirical evidence …

Quercus spp. are one of the most important tree genera in temperate deciduous forests in
terms of biodiversity, economic and cultural perspectives. However, natural regeneration of …

Une contradiction réside dans nos prédictions de l'évolution des communautés forestières
végétales face au réchauffement climatique du 21ème siècle. D'un côté, les espèces de …

Global environmental changes are affecting tree population demography with potentially
significant impacts on forest biodiversity and wood industry. Forest regeneration processes …
