The timing of phenological events, such as leaf-out and flowering, strongly influence plant
success and their study is vital to understanding how plants will respond to climate change …

Invasions by alien plants provide a unique opportunity to examine competitive interactions
among plants. While resource competition has long been regarded as a major mechanism …

Global climate change (GCC) increasingly threatens biodiversity through the loss of species,
and the transformation of entire ecosystems. Many species are challenged by the pace of …

Nonrandom collecting practices may bias conclusions drawn from analyses of herbarium
records. Recent efforts to fully digitize and mobilize regional floras online offer a timely …

Global change has become a central focus of modern biology. Yet, our knowledge of how
anthropogenic drivers affect biodiversity and natural resources is limited by a lack of …

Accurate predictions of spring plant phenology with climate change are critical for
projections of growing seasons, plant communities and a number of ecosystem services …

Despite the disproportionate influence that propagule production, dispersal, seed‐to‐
seedling recruitment and vegetative reproduction can have on plant population and …

Mean surface temperatures have increased globally by~ 0.7 C per century since 1900 and
0.16 C per decade since 1970 (Levinson and Fettig 2014). Most of this warming is believed …

Our ability to predict how species will respond to human-induced rapid environmental
change (HIREC) may depend upon our understanding of transgenerational plasticity (TGP) …

Although there is abundant evidence that plant phenology is shifting with climatic warming,
the magnitude and direction of these shifts can depend on the environmental context, plant …
