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 …

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 …

The benefits of masting (volatile, quasi-synchronous seed production at lagged intervals)
include satiation of seed predators, but these benefits come with a cost to mutualist pollen …

High interannual variation in seed production in perennial plants can be synchronized at
subcontinental scales with wide consequences for ecosystem functioning, but how such …

Mast‐seeding plants often produce high seed crops the year after a warm spring or summer,
but the warm‐temperature model has inconsistent predictive ability. Here, we show for 26 …

Ecology Letters (2011) Abstract Assembly history, or the order of species arrival, can have
wide‐ranging effects on species, communities and ecosystems. However, it remains unclear …

Masting, the highly variable and synchronous production of seeds across a population of
perennial plants, is an ecologically important, but still poorly understood, phenomenon …

Mast seeding is a crucial population process in many tree species, but its spatio‐temporal
patterns and drivers at the continental scale remain unknown. Using a large dataset (8000 …

In masting trees, synchronized, heavy reproductive events are thought to deplete stored
resources and to impose a replenishment period before subsequent masting. However …

Mast seeding, or masting, is the highly variable and spatially synchronous production of
seeds by a population of plants. The production of variable seed crops is typically correlated …
