Resprouting as a response to disturbance is now widely recognized as a key functional trait
among woody plants and as the basis for the persistence niche. However, the underlying …

Over the past 15 years, 3 million hectares of forests have been converted into shrublands or
grasslands in the Mediterranean countries of the European Union. Fire and drought are the …

Many species have the ability to resprout vegetatively after a substantial loss of biomass
induced by environmental stress, including drought. Many of the regions characterised by …

Abstract Purpose of Review Nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC) promote tree survival when
photosynthesis is impeded by factors whose impact is expected to increase under climate …

Water deficit is considered the main limiting factor for the establishment, survival, and growth
of plants mainly in water-limited ecosystems. Plants have evolved a wide range of …

Crown removal revitalises sand‐fixing shrubs that show declining vigour with age in drought‐
prone environments; however, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we …

Many plant species are being threatened by increasingly drought conditions due to current
climate change at planetary scale. This global trend is leading to the scientific community to …

Non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs) are crucial to support tree resprouting after
disturbances that damage the crown or stem. Epicormic resprouting (from stem) could …

Ongoing changes in global climate are having a significant impact on the distribution of plant
species, with effects particularly evident at range limits. We assessed the capacity of Pinus …

Understanding why co-occurring plant species show differential phenological sensitivities to
climate fluctuations, and more specifically to the joint variation in temperature and …
