Mast seeding is a widespread and widely studied phenomenon. However, the physiological
mechanisms that mediate masting events and link them to weather and plant resources are …

The current distribution of forest genetic resources on Earth is the result of a combination of
natural processes and human actions. Over time, tree populations have become adapted to …

High interannual variation in seed production in perennial plants can be synchronized at
subcontinental scales with wide consequences for ecosystem functioning, but how such …

Carbohydrates play a central role in plant functioning because they are building blocks and
energy carriers for plant metabolic processes. Because plants are sessile organisms and …

Climate change is resha** global vegetation through its impacts on plant mortality, but
recruitment creates the next generation of plants and will determine the structure and …

Annually variable and synchronous seed production, or masting behavior, is a widespread
phenomenon with dramatic effects on wildlife populations and their associated communities …

Although it has long been recognized that seed production by many forest trees varies
greatly from year to year, masting (along with 'mast fruiting','mast seeding'and 'masting …

Mast seeding is a crucial population process in many tree species, but its spatio‐temporal
patterns and drivers at the continental scale remain unknown. Using a large dataset (8000 …

Mast seeding, or masting, is the highly variable and spatially synchronous production of
seeds by a population of plants. The production of variable seed crops is typically correlated …

Forest ecology traditionally focuses on plant growth and survival, leaving seed production as
a major demographic process lacking a framework for how it will be affected by global …
