Abstract: Abstract Seed regeneration is a critical stage in the life histories of plants, affecting species' abilities to maintain local populations, evolve, and disperse to new sites. In this study, we test for local adaptations to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.dendro.2021.125834
Abstract: Abstract Rising temperature and altered precipitation regimes will lead to severe droughts and concomitant extreme events in the future. Forest ecosystems have shown to be especially prone to climate change. In assessing climate change impacts,… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract This paper analyses the drought-induced growth responses of two ecologically and economically important broadleaf tree species, namely sessile oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) and Turkey oak (Quercus cerris L.) in south-western Hungary. Although both… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/geb.13047
Abstract: AIM: We evaluated the influence of climate on the structure of bird communities along precipitation gradients. We hypothesize that mechanisms responsible for community turnover along precipitation gradients are similar to mechanisms operating along temperature and… read more here.

DOI: 10.12911/22998993/112502
Abstract: The study aims at investigating the so-called precipitation gradient, i.e. changes in the amount of precipitation depending on the elevation above sea level in the mountainous areas of southern Poland. The gradient value is specified… read more here.
