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 …

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 …

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 warming increases tree mortality which will require sufficient reproduction to ensure
population viability. However, the response of tree reproduction to climate change remains …

Mast seeding, the synchronised occurrence of large amounts of fruits and seeds at irregular
intervals, is a reproductive strategy in many wind-pollinated species. Although a series of …

Highly variable and synchronised production of seeds by plant populations, known as
masting, is implicated in many important ecological processes, but how it arises remains …

In many perennial wind‐pollinated plants, the dynamics of seed production is commonly
known to be highly fluctuating from year to year and synchronised among individuals within …

SUMMARY ICP Forests is one of the most diverse programmes within the Working Group on
Effects (WGE) under the Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (CLRTAP) …

Years with high fruit production, known as mast years, are the usual reproduction strategy of
European beech. Harsh weather conditions such as frost during flowering can lead to …

Masting is the highly variable and synchronous production of seeds by plants. Masting can
have cascading effects on plant population dynamics and forest properties such as tree …
