In their natural environment, plants are exposed to biotic or abiotic stresses that occur
sequentially or simultaneously. Plant responses to these stresses have been studied widely …

The sensitivity and response of northern hemisphere altitudinal and polar treelines to
environmental change are increasingly discussed in terms of climate change, often …

The alpine treeline is commonly regarded as being sensitive to climatic warming because
regeneration and growth of trees at treeline generally are limited by low temperature. The …

Treelines are temperature sensitive transition zones that are expected to respond to climate
warming by advancing beyond their current position. Response to climate warming over the …

Most ecologists are not card-carrying members of either individualistic or interdependent
guilds, but our perception of plant community organization, and the way we conduct …

Natural systems are being subjected to unprecedented rates of change and unique
pressures from a combination of anthropogenic environmental change drivers. Plant–plant …

Climate is a major determinant for the phenology, physiology, distribution and interactions of
plants. The world's recent climate has shown a substantial increase in average temperature …

Aim Treelines occur globally within a narrow range of mean growing season temperatures,
suggesting that low‐temperature growth limitation determines the position of the treeline …

Wildfire-mediated changes to forests have prompted numerous studies on post-fire forest
recovery of coniferous forests. Given climate change, a growing body of work demonstrates …

Climate warming is expected to induce treelines to advance to higher elevations. Empirical
studies in diverse mountain ranges, however, give evidence of both advancing alpine …
