Adaptive and plastic responses of Quercus petraea populations to climate across Europe
How temperate forests will respond to climate change is uncertain; projections range from
severe decline to increased growth. We conducted field tests of sessile oak (Quercus …

Elevational adaptation and plasticity in seedling phenology of temperate deciduous tree species
Phenological events, such as the initiation and the end of seasonal growth, are thought to be
under strong evolutionary control because of their influence on tree fitness. Although …

Genetic divergence in forest trees: understanding the consequences of climate change
1. Predicted climate change is heading in many respects into untested environmental
conditions for trees and to the reshuffling of species distributions. We explore the …
