Conserving the tree species of the world requires syntheses on which tree species are most
vulnerable to pressing threats, such as climate change, invasive pests and pathogens, or …

Predicting if, when, and how populations can adapt to climate change constitutes one of the
greatest challenges in science today. Here, we build from contributions to the special issue …

Juvenile survival is critical to population persistence and evolutionary change. However, the
survival of juvenile plants from emergence to reproductive maturity is rarely quantified. This …

Populations face a suite of anthropogenic stressors acting simultaneously, which can
combine additively or interact to have complex effects on population persistence. Yet we still …

The frequency and severity of marine heatwaves causing mass mortality events in tropical
and temperate coral species increases every year, with serious consequences on the …

Integral projection models (IPMs) can estimate the population dynamics of species for which
both discrete life stages and continuous variables influence demographic rates. Stochastic …

How terrestrial ecosystems will accumulate carbon as the climate continues to change is a
major source of uncertainty in projections of future climate. Under growth‐stimulating …

Species interaction effects on populations can vary in both magnitude (ie strong vs. weak)
and sign (positive, negative, or no effect). Context‐dependent effects of species interactions …

Demographic compensation—the opposing responses of vital rates along environmental
gradients—potentially delays anticipated species' range contraction under climate change …

Climate change is expected to alter the distribution and abundance of tree species,
impacting ecosystem structure and function. Yet, anticipating where this will occur is often …
