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 …

Phenotypic plasticity, if adaptive, may allow species to counter the detrimental effects of
extreme conditions, but the infrequent occurrence of extreme environments and/or their …

Background Anthropogenic climate change (ACC) will influence all aspects of plant biology
over coming decades. Many changes in wild species have already been well-documented …

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

Climate warming may affect multiple aspects of plant life history, including important factors
such as germination responses and the key trade‐off between offspring size and number. As …

Organisms' life cycles consist of hierarchical stages, from a single phenological stage (for
example, flowering within a season), to vegetative and reproductive phases, to the total …

Contemporary climate change is exposing plant populations to novel combinations of
temperatures, drought stress,[CO 2] and other abiotic and biotic conditions. These changes …

Some weather events like drought, increased precipitation, and warming exert substantial
impact on the terrestrial C and N cycling. However, it remains largely unclear about the effect …

Understanding species' abilities to cope with changing climate is a key prerequisite for
predicting the future fates of species and ecosystems. Despite considerable research on …

Selection on quantitative traits by heterogeneous climatic conditions can lead to substantial
trait variation across a species range. In the context of rapidly changing environments …
