DOI: 10.1002/2016jg003627
Abstract: Northern boreal forests are sensitive to many effects of global change. This is of particular concern due to the proportionally greater climate change projected for the area in which these forests occur. One of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.71022
Abstract: ABSTRACT Whole genome duplication (WGD or polyploidization) events shape plant evolution, altering ecological responses and plant traits, particularly those related to cell and tissue size. We studied genetic diversity and phenotypic plasticity in Spartina populations,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.4389
Abstract: Global change is affecting the distribution and population dynamics of plant species across the planet, leading to trends such as shifts in distribution toward the poles and to higher elevations. Yet, we poorly understand why… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/oik.11318
Abstract: Phenotypic plasticity is often regarded as a key mechanism for coping with environmental change, yet its adaptive potential remains uncertain in part because of inconsistencies in how environmental stressors are defined and studied, and the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00338-024-02465-0
Abstract: As the major form of coral reef regime shift, stony coral to macroalgal transitions have received considerable attention. In the Caribbean, however, regime shifts in which scleractinian corals are replaced by octocoral assemblages hold potential… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-019-04519-5
Abstract: Plant species of semi-natural grasslands are threatened by several simultaneous global change drivers, most notably land-use and climate change. In this study, we explore spatiotemporal variation and changes in deterministic (λ) and stochastic population growth… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-025-05690-8
Abstract: Biodiversity is currently under strong pressure due to anthropogenic global change. Different drivers of global change may exert direct and indirect effects on biodiversity, and may furthermore interact with one another, but our respective knowledge… read more here.

Environmental feedbacks in temperate aquatic ecosystems under global change: why do we need to consider chemical stressors?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Regional Environmental Change"
DOI: 10.1007/s10113-017-1197-2
Abstract: Globally increasing temperature and modifications in precipitation patterns induce major environmental alterations in aquatic ecosystems. Particularly profound changes are predicted for arctic to temperate shallow lakes where modifications in temperature affect the distribution of ice… read more here.
