When a phenological shift affects a demographic vital rate such as survival or reproduction,
the altered vital rate may or may not have population-level consequences. We review the …

Plants are exposed to heterogeneity in the environment where new stress factors (ie, climate
change, land use change, and invasiveness) are introduced, and where inter‐and …

Patterns, mechanisms, projections, and consequences of tree mortality and associated
broad‐scale forest die‐off due to drought accompanied by warmer temperatures—“hotter …

As climate change progresses, we are observing widespread changes in phenotypes in
many plant populations. Whether these phenotypic changes are directly caused by climate …

Climatic changes, including altered precipitation regimes, will affect key ecosystem
processes, such as plant productivity and biodiversity for many terrestrial ecosystems. Past …

With ongoing climate change, the probability of crossing environmental thresholds
promoting abrupt changes in ecosystem structure and functioning is higher than ever. In …

Forest regeneration following disturbance is a key ecological process, influencing forest
structure and function, species assemblages, and ecosystem–climate interactions. Climate …

Forest microclimate is crucial for the growth and survival of tree seedlings and understorey
vegetation. This high ecological relevance contrasts with the poor functional and quantitative …

Contemporary climate change is having widespread impacts on plant populations.
Understanding how plants respond to this change is essential to our efforts to conserve …

Forest fires are a common natural disturbance in forested ecosystems and have a large
impact on the microbial communities in forest soils. The response of soil fungal communities …
