Effects of warming temperatures on germination responses and trade‐offs between seed traits in an alpine plant
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 …

Patterns of phenotypic plasticity along a thermal gradient differ by trait type in an alpine plant
Climate change presents many challenges for plants, a major one of which is the steady
increase in the temperatures that plants are exposed to during germination, growth and …

Testing the evolutionary potential of an alpine plant: phenotypic plasticity in response to growth temperature outweighs parental environmental effects and other …
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 …

Mortality thresholds of juvenile trees to drought and heatwaves: implications for forest regeneration across a landscape gradient
Tree loss is increasing rapidly due to drought-and heat-related mortality and intensifying fire
activity. Consequently, the fate of many forests depends on the ability of juvenile trees to …

Plant origin and trade-off between generative and vegetative reproduction determine germination behaviour of a dominant grass species along climatic gradients
A Veselá, L Duongová, Z Münzbergová - Flora, 2022 - Elsevier
An increasing number of studies explore the effects of climate change on plants; less studies
have paid attention to germination. Even less is known on a trade-off between investment to …

Temporal dynamics in alpine snowpatch plants along a snowmelt gradient explained by functional traits and strategies
Alpine snowpatches are characterised by persistent snow cover, short growing seasons and
periglacial processes, which has resulted in highly specialised plant communities. Hence …

Microrefugia and microclimate: Unraveling decoupling potential and resistance to heatwaves
Microrefugia, defined as small areas maintaining populations of species outside their range
margins during environmental extremes, are increasingly recognized for their role in …

Consistently high heat tolerance acclimation in response to a simulated heatwave across species from the broadly distributed Acacia genus
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 …

Eucalyptus obliqua tall forest in cool, temperate Tasmania becomes a carbon source during a protracted warm spell in November 2017
TJ Wardlaw - Scientific Reports, 2022 - nature.com
Tasmania experienced a protracted warm spell in November 2017. Temperatures were
lower than those usually characterising heatwaves. Nonetheless the warm spell represented …
