From the individual to the landscape and back: time-varying effects of climate and herbivory on tree sapling growth at distribution limits.
(Wiley, 2015-12-14)
1. As herbivory can modulate climate-induced shifts in species distribution, disentangling the relative importance of herbivory and climate on plant growth can help to predict and manage future changes in vegetation, such ...
Growth and stable isotope signals associated with drought‐related mortality in saplings of two coexisting pine species
(Springer, 2013-06-25)
Drought-induced events of massive tree mortality appear to be increasing worldwide. Species-specific vulnerability to drought mortality may alter patterns of species diversity and affect future forest composition. We have ...
Plant Responses to Extreme Climatic Events: A Field Test of Resilience Capacity at the Southern Range Edge.
(Public Library Science, 2014-01-28)
The expected and already observed increment in frequency of extreme climatic events may result in severe vegetation shifts. However, stabilizing mechanisms promoting community resilience can buffer the lasting impact of ...
