Drought legacies and ecosystem responses to subsequent drought

LM Müller, M Bahn - Global Change Biology, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and severity of droughts. These
events, which can cause significant perturbations of terrestrial ecosystems and potentially …

The evolutionary genomics of species' responses to climate change

JA Aguirre-Liguori, S Ramírez-Barahona… - Nature Ecology & …, 2021 - nature.com
Climate change is a threat to biodiversity. One way that this threat manifests is through
pronounced shifts in the geographical range of species over time. To predict these shifts …

Chapter 2, building on prior assessments, provides a global assessment of the observed
impacts and projected risks of climate change to terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems …

Projected climate-driven changes in pollen emission season length and magnitude over the continental United States

Y Zhang, AL Steiner - Nature communications, 2022 - nature.com
Atmospheric conditions affect the release of anemophilous pollen, and the timing and
magnitude will be altered by climate change. As simulated with a pollen emission model and …

Climate change reshuffles northern species within their niches

LH Antão, B Weigel, G Strona, M Hällfors… - Nature Climate …, 2022 - nature.com
Climate change is a pervasive threat to biodiversity. While range shifts are a known
consequence of climate warming contributing to regional community change, less is known …

Climate and land‐use change will lead to a faunal “savannization” on tropical rainforests

LP Sales, M Galetti, MM Pires - Global Change Biology, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Humans have fragmented, reduced or altered the biodiversity in tropical forests around the
world. Climate and land‐use change act synergistically, increasing drought and fire …

Widespread decline in Central European plant diversity across six decades

D Eichenberg, DE Bowler, A Bonn… - Global Change …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Based on plant occurrence data covering all parts of Germany, we investigated changes in
the distribution of 2136 plant species between 1960 and 2017. We analyzed 29 million …

Forest understorey communities respond strongly to light in interaction with forest structure, but not to microclimate warming

K De Pauw, P Sanczuk, C Meeussen… - New …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Forests harbour large spatiotemporal heterogeneity in canopy structure. This variation drives
the microclimate and light availability at the forest floor. So far, we do not know how light …

Gene-by-environment interactions in plants: Molecular mechanisms, environmental drivers, and adaptive plasticity

JD Napier, RW Heckman, TE Juenger - The Plant Cell, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Plants demonstrate a broad range of responses to environmental shifts. One of the most
remarkable responses is plasticity, which is the ability of a single plant genotype to produce …

Implications of size-dependent tree mortality for tropical forest carbon dynamics

EM Gora, A Esquivel-Muelbert - Nature Plants, 2021 - nature.com
Tropical forests are mitigating the ongoing climate crisis by absorbing more atmospheric
carbon than they emit. However, widespread increases in tree mortality rates are decreasing …
