Climate change is reshaping global vegetation through its impacts on plant mortality, but
recruitment creates the next generation of plants and will determine the structure and …

Plant trait variability, emerging from eco-evolutionary dynamics that range from alleles to
macroecological scales, is one of the most elusive, but possibly most consequential, aspects …

Many plants benefit from synchronous year-to-year variation in seed production, called
masting. Masting benefits plants because it increases the efficiency of pollination and …

Indirect climate effects on tree fecundity that come through variation in size and growth
(climate-condition interactions) are not currently part of models used to predict future forests …

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 …

Significant gaps remain in understanding the response of plant reproduction to
environmental change. This is partly because measuring reproduction in long‐lived plants …

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

Understanding the processes that shape forest functioning, structure, and diversity remains
challenging, although data on forest systems are being collected at a rapid pace and across …

Carbon allocation plays a key role in ecosystem dynamics and plant adaptation to changing
environmental conditions. Hence, proper description of this process in vegetation models is …

Climate change leads to global drought-induced stress and increased plant mortality. Tree
species living in rapidly changing climate conditions are exposed to danger and must adapt …
