Future shifts in precipitation regimes and temperature are expected to affect plant traits dramatically. To date, many studies have explored the effects of acute stresses, but few have investigated the consequences of...

The potential for phenological mismatch between a perennial herb and its ground-nesting bee pollinator
Flowering time is shifting with climate change. Pollinators may respond differently to changes in temperature and moisture than the flowers they visit, resulting in a phenological mismatch between species. Assessing...

Seed dormancy changes of snowbed species under climate warming
Parental plant growth environment could alter the state of seed dormancy, affecting the timing of emergence and seedling survival. In the context of climate warming, Bernareggi et al. investigate the effects of pre- and...

Within-species populations exhibit similar physiology under current climate but may diverge under warmer and drier conditions
Recent repeated episodes of drought and high temperatures have resulted in substantial dieback of silver fir in the Spanish Pyrenees. However, mortality has been much greater in populations from the westernmost Pyrenees...

Warming and nitrogen effects on plant phenology
Phenology is one of most sensitive traits of plants in response to regional climate warming and it may interact with other environmental change factors such as increasing nitrogen deposition. Xia and Wan conduct a 4...
