Seed dispersal, or the movement of diaspores away from the parent location, is a multiscale,
multipartner process that depends on the interaction of plant life history with vector …

In the face of anthropogenic climate change, species must acclimate, adapt, move, or die.
Although some species are moving already, their ability to keep up with the faster changes …

Earth is home to a remarkable diversity of plant forms and life histories, yet comparatively
few essential trait combinations have proved evolutionarily viable in today's terrestrial …

Phenotypic traits and their associated trade-offs have been shown to have globally
consistent effects on individual plant physiological functions,,, but how these effects scale up …

Tropical forests are being deforested worldwide, and the remaining fragments are suffering
from biomass and biodiversity erosion. Quantifying this erosion is challenging because …

Seed persistence is the survival of seeds in the environment once they have reached
maturity. Seed persistence allows a species, population or genotype to survive long after the …

Forest Growth and Yield Modeling synthesizes current scientific literature and provides
insights in how models are constructed. Giving suggestions for future developments, and …

It is often assumed that there is a trade‐off between maternal provisioning and dispersal
capacity, leading small‐seeded species to disperse further than large‐seeded species …

Plant traits–the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological
characteristics of plants and their organs–determine how primary producers respond to …

Plant height is a central part of plant ecological strategy. It is strongly correlated with life
span, seed mass and time to maturity, and is a major determinant of a species' ability to …
