In the coming decades, maintaining a steady food supply for the increasing world population
will require high-yielding crop plants which can be productive under increasingly variable …

Mediterranean agriculture has coevolved with harsh environments and changing climate
conditions over millennia, generating an extremely rich heritage of traditional knowledge; …

Human activities are fundamentally altering biodiversity. Projections of declines at the global
scale are contrasted by highly variable trends at local scales, suggesting that biodiversity …

Plant communities experience impacts of increasing numbers of global change factors (eg,
warming, eutrophication, pollution). Consequently, unpredictable global change effects …

This study compiles and summarizes the existing knowledge about observed and projected
impacts of climate change on forests in Europe. Forests will have to adapt not only to …

At the core of plant regeneration, temperature and water supply are critical drivers for seed
dormancy (initiation, break) and germination. Hence, global climate change is altering these …

Abstract Motivation The BioTIME database contains raw data on species identities and
abundances in ecological assemblages through time. These data enable users to calculate …

Amplification of the hydrological cycle as a consequence of global warming is forecast to
lead to more extreme intra-annual precipitation regimes characterized by larger rainfall …

We review the evidence of how organisms and populations are currently responding to
climate change through phenotypic plasticity, genotypic evolution, changes in distribution …

Potential for, and limits to, adaptation to environmental changes are critical for resilience and
risk mitigation. The Mediterranean basin is a mosaic of biodiversity‐rich ecosystems long …
