DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-07701-0
Abstract: Northern forests at the leading edge of their distributions may not show increased primary productivity under climate warming, being limited by climatic extremes such as drought. Looking beyond tree growth to underlying physiological mechanisms is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/2041-210x.13656
Abstract: Under global change, there is an urgent need to forecast the dynamics of establishing tree populations. However, tree population dynamics are slow and historical data on these dynamics are rare. This raises the question whether… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ele.14028
Abstract: Demographic compensation-the opposing responses of vital rates along environmental gradients-potentially delays anticipated species' range contraction under climate change, but no consensus exists on its actual contribution. We calculated population growth rate (λ) and demographic compensation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/oik.05142
Abstract: Dispersal mechanism, species height, sexual system, and wood density are potential drivers of the spatial distribution pattern of tropical tree populations. These traits are usually conserved among closely related species, thus populations of these species… read more here.
