Many natural disturbances have a strong climate forcing, and concern is rising about how
ecosystems will respond to disturbance regimes to which they are not adapted. Novelty can …

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 …

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

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 …

Forest ecology traditionally focuses on plant growth and survival, leaving seed production as
a major demographic process lacking a framework for how it will be affected by global …

Our overall objective is to synthesize mast-seeding data on North American Pinaceae to
detect characteristic features of reproduction (ie development cycle length, serotiny …

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 …

Projections of future climate change impacts suggest an increase of wildfire activity in
Mediterranean ecosystems, such as southern California. This region is a wildfire hotspot and …

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 …

Compensatory growth has been observed in forests, and it also appears as a common
phenomenon in biology. Though it sometimes takes different names, the essential meanings …
