Plants are exposed to heterogeneity in the environment where new stress factors (ie, climate
change, land use change, and invasiveness) are introduced, and where inter‐and …

Macroclimatic variation along latitudinal gradients provides an excellent natural laboratory to
investigate the role of temperature and the potential impacts of climate warming on terrestrial …

Aim To assess the effect of local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity on the potential
distribution of species under future climate changes. Trees may be adapted to specific …

Reduction in size and tissue nutrient concentration is widely considered to increase
seedling drought resistance in dry and oligotrophic plantation sites. However, much …

Plants distributed across a wide range of environmental conditions are submitted to
differential selective pressures. Long-term selection can lead to the development of …

Mediterranean ecosystems are biodiversity hotspots located between temperate mesic
climates and semi‐deserts and deserts. Mediterranean climates are characterized by a …

Proline accumulation represents one of mechanisms used by plants to prevent the adverse
consequences of water stress. The effects of increased proline levels in response to drought …

Many plant species are being threatened by increasingly drought conditions due to current
climate change at planetary scale. This global trend is leading to the scientific community to …

Since the last glacial–interglacial cycles, Mediterranean mountains in Southern Europe
have constituted the southern refuge of numerous species of Eurosiberian and Boreal origin …

Optimizing the germination timing is crucial for the establishment of new generations. We
hypothesized that environmental maternal effects may be relevant in the fine tuning of this …
