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 …

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 …

Predator satiation is the most commonly tested hypothesis that explains the evolutionary
advantages of masting. It proposes that masting benefits plant reproduction by reducing the …

The benefits of masting (volatile, quasi-synchronous seed production at lagged intervals)
include satiation of seed predators, but these benefits come with a cost to mutualist pollen …

Despite its importance for forest regeneration, food webs, and human economies, changes
in tree fecundity with tree size and age remain largely unknown. The allometric increase with …

Increasing fire severity and warmer, drier postfire conditions are making forests in the
western United States (West) vulnerable to ecological transformation. Yet, the relative …

Tree fecundity and recruitment have not yet been quantified at scales needed to anticipate
biogeographic shifts in response to climate change. By separating their responses, this …

The relationships that control seed production in trees are fundamental to understanding the
evolution of forest species and their capacity to recover from increasing losses to drought …

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 …

Significant gaps remain in understanding the response of plant reproduction to
environmental change. This is partly because measuring reproduction in long‐lived plants …
