TL;DR

Investigation of intra-specific phenological variation in Quercus petraea across the French Pyrenees using a multi-environment experimental framework reveals phase-specific differences in phenological responses, with stronger temperature-associated plasticity in spring than in autumn phenology.

Organ-specific plasticity in response to hydrothermal changes reveals adaptation strategies of sandy plants

Sandy ecosystems are inherently fragile, and plant morphological traits are exquisitely sensitive to climatic shifts. We investigated adaptive strategies of three dominant psammophytes (Artemisia scoparia, Cleistogenes squarrosa, and Lespedeza davurica) to simulated warming and precipitation reduction in a 3-year exp...

Phenotypic Plasticity Beyond Domestication: Trait- and Accession-Dependent Responses to Light in Capsicum annuum

Plasticity in chili depends on the trait and on the population or variety evaluated and is expressed more strongly in vegetative than in reproductive components, indicating that the biological consequences of plastic responses should be evaluated in relation to reproductive performance, not only vegetative adjustment.

Functional traits can explain coordinated seedling responses to drought and freezing stress

While stress resistance can be shaped by phylogeny and adaptations to long‐term climate regimes, the results elucidate early traits with clearer direct links to establishment capacity under drought and freezing stress, across species.

Mesoclimatic origin affects alpine plant germination but not its plasticity

Mountain ecosystems are disproportionately exposed to global warming, which may put alpine plant species in particular at risk. Plant species' migration and persistence depend on successful seed regeneration, with demographic traits such as germination being strongly sensitive to both present and ancestral climate. Ger...

Thermal Requirements of Spring Phenology and Senescence in European Beech Provenances

Thermal forcing is one of the most important drivers of leaf phenology and can be used to determine species’ phenological requirements. Counting on this, the aim of the study was to quantify the thermal regime and determine how it explains variation in spring phenology and senescence in European beech. To achieve this...

Effects of temperature gradient on flower and fruit traits: a meta analysis

Warming temperatures exert widespread, multi-axis effects on the morphology, availability, timing, and nutritional quality of both flowers and fleshy fruits, and are likely to propagate cascading disruptions throughout plant–pollinator and plant–frugivore interaction networks under continued climate change.
