Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation on forecasts of species range shifts under climate change
Fernando Valladares,Fernando Valladares,Silvia Matesanz,François Guilhaumon,François Guilhaumon,Miguel B. Araújo,Miguel B. Araújo,Miguel B. Araújo,Luis Balaguer,Marta Benito-Garzón,William K. Cornwell,Ernesto Gianoli,Ernesto Gianoli,Mark van Kleunen,Daniel E. Naya,Adrienne B. Nicotra,Hendrik Poorter,Miguel A. Zavala +17 more
TL;DR: It is shown that when population differentiation is accounted for and dispersal is restricted, forecasts of species range shifts under climate change are even more pessimistic than those using the conventional assumption of homogeneously high plasticity across a species' range.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative estimation of phenotypic plasticity : bridging the gap between the evolutionary concept and its ecological applications
TL;DR: An alternative approach to quantify PP based on phenotypic distances among individuals of a given species exposed to different environments is summarized in a relative distance plasticity index (RDPI) that allows for statistical comparisons of PP between species (or populations within species).
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A global analysis of 403 tropical and temperate tree species shows that for most species mass growth rate increases continuously with tree size, which means large, old trees do not act simply as senescent carbon reservoirs but actively fix large amounts of carbon compared to smaller trees.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of climate extremes on the terrestrial carbon cycle: concepts, processes and potential future impacts

Zavala,Jakob Zscheischler +26 more
TL;DR: It is found that ecosystem responses can exceed the duration of the climate impacts via lagged effects on the carbon cycle, and forests are expected to exhibit the largest net effect of extremes due to their large carbon pools and fluxes, potentially large indirect and lagged impacts, and long recovery time to regain previous stocks.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Traits generate trade-offs between performance with competition versus performance without competition, a fundamental ingredient in the classical hypothesis that the coexistence of plant species is enabled via differentiation in their successional strategies.
