Incorporating microclimate into species distribution models
Species distribution models (SDMs) have rapidly evolved into one of the most widely used
tools to answer a broad range of ecological questions, from the effects of climate change to …

Limits to reproduction and seed size-number trade-offs that shape forest dominance and future recovery
The relationships that control seed production in trees are fundamental to understanding the
evolution of forest species and their capacity to recover from increasing losses to drought …

Disequilibrium of fire-prone forests sets the stage for a rapid decline in conifer dominance during the 21st century
The impacts of climatic changes on forests may appear gradually on time scales of years to
centuries due to the long generation times of trees. Consequently, current forest extent may …

Transient population dynamics impede restoration and may promote ecosystem transformation after disturbance
The apparent failure of ecosystems to recover from increasingly widespread disturbance is a
global concern. Despite growing focus on factors inhibiting resilience and restoration, we …

Post-fire early successional vegetation buffers surface microclimate and increases survival of planted conifer seedlings in the southwestern United States
Climate change and fire exclusion have increased the flammability of western United States
forests, leading to forest cover loss when wildfires occur under severe weather conditions …

Effects of biotic interactions on modeled species' distribution can be masked by environmental gradients
A fundamental goal of ecology is to understand the determinants of species' distributions (ie,
the set of locations where a species is present). Competition among species (ie, interactions …
