Predicting plastic responses is crucial to assess plant species potential to adapt to climate
change, but little is known about which factors drive the biogeographical patterns of …

While average temperature is likely to increase in most locations on Earth, many places will
simultaneously experience higher variability in temperature, precipitation, and other climate …

Tropical ecosystems adapted to high water availability may be highly impacted by climatic
changes that increase soil and atmospheric moisture deficits. Many tropical regions are …

Current predictions suggest that in temperate zones climate change will increase the
frequency of extreme events such as summer droughts, leading to deficit in water availability …

Adaptive evolution and phenotypic plasticity will fuel resilience in the geologically
unprecedented warming and acidification of the earth's oceans, however, we have much to …

Phenotypic plasticity enables rapid responses to environmental change, and could facilitate
range shifts in response to climate change. What drives the evolution of plasticity at range …

Abstract Background and Aims In water-limited landscapes, some plants build structures that
enable them to survive with minimal water (drought resistance). Instead of making structures …

Climate warming is predicted to shift species' ranges as previously uninhabitable
environments just beyond the leading range edges become suitable habitat and trailing …

Local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity are two important characteristics of alpine plants
to overcome the threats caused by global changes. Among alpine species, Arabis alpina is …

It has been known for a long time that drought intensity is a critical variable in determining
water stress of Mediterranean tree species. However, not as much attention has been paid …
