Climate change is resha** global vegetation through its impacts on plant mortality, but
recruitment creates the next generation of plants and will determine the structure and …

Although it has long been recognized that seed production by many forest trees varies
greatly from year to year, masting (along with 'mast fruiting','mast seeding'and 'masting …

Many plants benefit from synchronous year-to-year variation in seed production, called
masting. Masting benefits plants because it increases the efficiency of pollination and …

Large interannual variation in seed production, called masting, is very common in wind-
pollinated tree populations and has profound implications for the dynamics of forest …

Climate change impacts on Europe's forests are becoming visible much sooner than
previously anticipated. The increase in natural disturbances leads to tree mortality and …

Climate change is altering patterns of seed production worldwide with consequences for
population recruitment and migration potential. For the many species that regenerate …

Masting, the intermittent and synchronous production of large seed crops, can have
profound consequences for plant populations and the food webs that are built on their …

Plants have evolved to time their leafing, flowering and fruiting in appropriate seasons for
growth, reproduction and resting. As a consequence of their adaptation to geographically …

Years with high fruit production, known as mast years, are the usual reproduction strategy of
European beech. Harsh weather conditions such as frost during flowering can lead to …

Interannual variability of seed crops (CVp) has profound consequences for plant populations
and food webs, where high CVp is termed 'masting'. Here we ask: is global variation in CVp …
