Global Change Biology: masting breakdown and tree size
Climate change continues to reshape our natural ecosystems, and its impact on tree populations is a topic of great concern. Our recent study investigating the response of European beech (Fagus sylvatica) to climate warming has uncovered intriguing insights into the complex relationship between tree reproduction, climate change, and forest dynamics. The Masting Breakdown Phenomenon: OneContinue reading “Global Change Biology: masting breakdown and tree size”
Ecology Letters: masting regional synchrony
We are thrilled to announce the publication of our latest paper in Ecology Letters, which was primarily developed in the Forest Biology Center. Masting is a fascinating natural phenomenon characterized by stunning, regional synchrony, with the Moran effect being responsible for reproduction in response to synchronized weather variations. However, species differ significantly in the degreeContinue reading “Ecology Letters: masting regional synchrony”
GEB: reproduction of trees on a map of their form
We are excited to announce the publication of our latest paper in Global Ecology and Biogeography. We utilized an extensive dataset of seed production estimates in trees, which included approximately 800 species, to map seed production onto the tree form and function map. This research was predominantly the result of Michał’s fellowship in France, whereContinue reading “GEB: reproduction of trees on a map of their form”
