Evaluating genomic offset predictions in a forest tree with high population genetic structure

This study evaluates genomic offset predictions in maritime pine using multiple methods and data sources, finding strong associations with mortality but not height.

Germination timing under climate change: warmer springs favor early germination of range-wide cork oak populations

This study examines how warmer springs affect germination timing of cork oak populations across their range, finding earlier germination under increased temperatures.

Extreme climatic events but not environmental heterogeneity shape within-population genetic variation in maritime pine

The paper tests hypotheses about factors shaping genetic variation in maritime pine, finding natural selection, not environmental heterogeneity or admixture, reduces within-population genetic variation.

Occurrence but not intensity of mortality rises towards the climatic trailing edge of tree species ranges in European forests.

The paper examines tree mortality patterns across Europe, finding higher occurrence near the climatic trailing edge but uniform intensity distribution across species ranges.

Patterns of phenotypic plasticity among populations of three Mediterranean pine species and implications for evolutionary responses to climate change

The paper assesses phenotypic plasticity in three Mediterranean pine species across their ranges and finds it correlates with historical climate variation and developmental stage.

Greater capacity to exploit warming temperatures in northern populations of European beech is partly driven by delayed leaf senescence

The study identifies temperature as the main driver of leaf senescence in European beech and predicts changes in growing season length under climate change.

Similar patterns of background mortality across Europe are mostly driven by drought in European beech and a combination of drought and competition in Scots pine.

The paper examines how drought and competition influence mortality in European beech and Scots pine across Europe, finding drought drives beech mortality while competition drives Scots pine mortality.

Inferring phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation to climate across tree species ranges using forest inventory data

The paper uses forest inventory data to distinguish between local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity in tree species across climate gradients.

Range-wide variation in local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity of fitness-related traits in Fagus sylvatica and their implications under climate change

The paper quantifies local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity of growth and survival traits in Fagus sylvatica across its range and estimates their contribution to species distribution under climate change.
