The relationships that control seed production in trees are fundamental to understanding the evolution of forest species and their capacity to recover from increasing losses to drought …
Aim Plant distributions and vegetation dynamics underpin key global phenomena, including biogeochemical cycling, ecosystem productivity and terrestrial biodiversity patterns …
The impacts of climatic changes on forests may appear gradually on time scales of years to centuries due to the long generation times of trees. Consequently, current forest extent may …
Environmental conditions that vary from year to year can be strong drivers of ecological dynamics, including the composition of newly assembled communities. However, ecologists …
Aim Variation in spatial predictions of species' ranges made by various models has been recognized as a significant source of uncertainty for modelling species distributions …

Prolonged periods of extreme heat or drought in the first year after fire affect the resilience and diversity of fire-dependent ecosystems by inhibiting seed germination or increasing …
Abstract Aim Climate classification systems (CCSs) can be used to predict how species' distributions might be altered by climate change and to increase the reliability of these …

Aim Species respond to environmental conditions and so reliable assessments of climate suitability are important for predicting how climate change could alter their distributions …
Aim The rate and magnitude of climate‐induced tree range shifts may be influenced by range‐wide variation in recruitment, which acts as a bottleneck in tree range dynamics …
