Climate change impacts on Europe's forests are becoming visible much sooner than
previously anticipated. The increase in natural disturbances leads to tree mortality and …

Plants frequently exhibit tradeoffs between reproduction and growth when resources are
limited, and often change these allocation patterns in response to stress. Shorter-lived plants …

Many plants benefit from synchronous year-to-year variation in seed production, called
masting. Masting benefits plants because it increases the efficiency of pollination and …

Mast seeding, the synchronised occurrence of large amounts of fruits and seeds at irregular
intervals, is a reproductive strategy in many wind-pollinated species. Although a series of …

Highly variable and synchronised production of seeds by plant populations, known as
masting, is implicated in many important ecological processes, but how it arises remains …

In many perennial wind‐pollinated plants, the dynamics of seed production is commonly
known to be highly fluctuating from year to year and synchronised among individuals within …

Resource pulses are rare events with a short duration and high magnitude that drive the
dynamics of both plant and animal populations and communities. Mast seeding is perhaps …

Numerous interactions between plants and animals vary in their outcome between
antagonism and mutualism. Interactions between plants and scatter‐hoarding animals …

Masting is the highly variable and synchronous production of seeds by plants. Masting can
have cascading effects on plant population dynamics and forest properties such as tree …

Variable, synchronized seed production, called masting, is a widespread reproductive
strategy in plants. Resource dynamics, pollination success, and, as described here …
