Contemporary climate change is exposing plant populations to novel combinations of
temperatures, drought stress,[CO 2] and other abiotic and biotic conditions. These changes …

Aim Climate change is altering forest communities at an unprecedented pace. Current
knowledge on trees' responses to climate shifts is based mostly on adults. Yet, germination …

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 …

Key message Genomic analysis of upland cotton revealed that cold tolerance was
associated with ecological distribution. GhSAL1 on chromosome D09 negatively regulated …

The timing of a developmental transition (phenology) can influence the environment
experienced by subsequent life stages. When phenology causes an organism to occupy a …

For most terrestrial plants, regeneration depends on the ability of seeds to germinate in the
most favourable climatic conditions. Understanding seed germination phenology is thus …

The germination niche of plant species depends primarily on the seeds' responsiveness to
temperature and water potential. However, to appreciate future climate risks to natural …

There is evidence that variable and synchronous reproduction in seed plants (masting)
correlates to modes of climate variability, eg El Niño Southern Oscillation and North Atlantic …

Recruitment of new individuals from seed is a critical component of plant community
assembly and reassembly, especially in the context of ecosystem disturbance and recovery …

Efforts to restore semiarid wildlands in the western United States predominantly use fall
seeding. Fall conditions are more amenable to seeding, and successfully over‐wintered …
