Climate warming may affect multiple aspects of plant life history, including important factors
such as germination responses and the key trade‐off between offspring size and number. As …

Climate change presents many challenges for plants, a major one of which is the steady
increase in the temperatures that plants are exposed to during germination, growth and …

Tree loss is increasing rapidly due to drought-and heat-related mortality and intensifying fire
activity. Consequently, the fate of many forests depends on the ability of juvenile trees to …

An increasing number of studies explore the effects of climate change on plants; less studies
have paid attention to germination. Even less is known on a trade-off between investment to …

Alpine snowpatches are characterised by persistent snow cover, short growing seasons and
periglacial processes, which has resulted in highly specialised plant communities. Hence …

Phenotypic plasticity and rapid evolution are fundamental processes by which organisms
can maintain their function and fitness in the face of environmental changes. Here we …

Microrefugia, defined as small areas maintaining populations of species outside their range
margins during environmental extremes, are increasingly recognized for their role in …

When leaves exceed their thermal threshold during heatwaves, irreversible damage to the
leaf can accumulate. However, few studies have explored short-term acclimation of leaves to …

Understanding the molecular basis of plant heat tolerance helps to predict the
consequences of a warming climate on plant performance, particularly in vulnerable …
