This review considers the relationship between the lifespan of an individual plant and the
longevity of its component cells, tissues and organs. It begins by defining the terms …

How individual species and entire ecosystems will respond to future climate change are
among the most pressing questions facing ecologists. Past biodiversity dynamics recorded …

This book introduces the key stages of niche-based habitat suitability model building,
evaluation and prediction required for understanding and predicting future patterns of …

Plant functional traits are the features (morphological, physiological, phenological) that
represent ecological strategies and determine how plants respond to environmental factors …

We expand the concept of “old growth” to encompass the distinct ecologies and
conservation values of the world's ancient grass‐dominated biomes. Biologically rich …

Climate impact studies have indicated ecological fingerprints of recent global warming
across a wide range of habitats,. Although these studies have shown responses from …

Quantitative estimates of the range loss of mountain plants under climate change have so far
mostly relied on static geographical projections of species' habitat shifts,,. Here, we use a …

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 …

High mountain ecosystems and their biota are governed by low‐temperature conditions and
thus can be used as indicators for climate warming impacts on natural ecosystems, provided …

In the face of climate change, populations have two survival options− they can remain in situ
and tolerate the new climatic conditions (“stay”), or they can move to track their climatic …
