Plasticity‐mediated changes in interaction dynamics and structure may scale up and affect
the ecological network in which the plastic species are embedded. Despite their potential …

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 …

The Saussurea species, renowned for its biodiversity and medicinal significance in high-
elevation regions, faces endangerment due to climate change and human activities. Despite …

The evergreen broad-leaf forest is subtropical zonal vegetation in China, and its species

Exploring patterns and causes of intraspecific trait variation is crucial for a better
understanding of the effects of climate change on plant populations and ecosystems …

In seasonal environments, a high responsiveness of development to increasing
temperatures in spring can infer benefits in terms of a longer growing season, but also costs …

Phenotypic plasticity and rapid evolution are fundamental processes by which organisms
can maintain their function and fitness in the face of environmental changes. Here we …

When leaves exceed their thermal threshold during heatwaves, irreversible damage to the
leaf can accumulate. However, few studies have explored short-term acclimation of leaves to …

Seed germination is a vital process in the plant life cycle. It directly influences seedling
establishment and subsequently determines population persistence and species …
