Mast seeding is a widespread and widely studied phenomenon. However, the physiological
mechanisms that mediate masting events and link them to weather and plant resources are …

Although it has long been recognized that seed production by many forest trees varies
greatly from year to year, masting (along with 'mast fruiting','mast seeding'and 'masting …

Plants store large amounts of non‐structural carbohydrates (NSC). While multiple functions
of NSC have long been recognized, the interpretation of NSC seasonal dynamics is often …

Annually variable and synchronous seed production, or masting behavior, is a widespread
phenomenon with dramatic effects on wildlife populations and their associated communities …

Large interannual variation in seed production, called masting, is very common in wind-
pollinated tree populations and has profound implications for the dynamics of forest …

Climate change is altering patterns of seed production worldwide with consequences for
population recruitment and migration potential. For the many species that regenerate …

Masting, the highly variable and synchronous production of seeds across a population of
perennial plants, is an ecologically important, but still poorly understood, phenomenon …

Mast‐seeding is the synchronized and intermittent production of a large seed crop by a
population of plants. The cascading effects of masting on wildlife have been well …

In masting trees, synchronized, heavy reproductive events are thought to deplete stored
resources and to impose a replenishment period before subsequent masting. However …

Farmers lack effective methods to achieve and maintain stable production from year to year
in many commercial fruit crops. Annual fruit yield within a region often alternates between …
