Budburst timing within a functional trait framework Open
Phenology, the timing of recurring life history events, can vary substantially in different environments and for different species. While climate change has shifted phenology by altering its environmental triggers, such as temperature, cha…

Forest canopy cover affects microclimate buffering during an extreme heat event Open
Increasing temperatures and extreme heat episodes have become more common with climate change. While forests are known to buffer increasing temperatures (relative to non-forested areas), whether this buffering is maintained under extreme t…

Street trees provide an opportunity to mitigate urban heat and reduce risk of high heat exposure Open
Climate change is exacerbating the need for urban greening and the associated environmental and human well-being benefits. Trees can help mitigate urban heat, but more detailed understanding of cooling effects of green infrastructure are n…

Microclimate buffering varies across forest types during an extreme heat event Open
Increasing temperatures and extreme heat episodes have become more common with climate change. While forests are known to be buffered from increasing temperatures compared to non-forested areas, whether this buffering is maintained under e…

Forest restoration thinning accelerates development of old‐growth characteristics in the coastal Pacific Northwest, <span>USA</span> Open
A century of industrial‐scale management has transformed vast swaths of forest land across the Pacific Northwest (PNW), USA, from ancient forests with complex structure and diverse habitats to young forests with simple structure and domina…

A simple explanation for declining temperature sensitivity with warming Open
Recently, multiple studies have reported declining phenological sensitivities (∆ days per ℃) with higher temperatures. Such observations have been used to suggest climate change is reshaping biological processes, with major implications fo…

Fine-scale assessment of inequities in inland flood vulnerability Open
Technical Documentation for data repositoryJune 2021prepared by Mathis L. Messager ([email protected])1. Overview and backgroundThis documentation describes the data produced for the research article: Messager, M. L., Ettinger, A. K., Murphy…
View article: Spatial and temporal shifts in photoperiod with climate change
Spatial and temporal shifts in photoperiod with climate change Open
Summary Climate change causes both temporal (e.g. advancing spring phenology) and geographic (e.g. range expansion poleward) species shifts, which affect the photoperiod experienced at critical developmental stages (‘experienced photoperio…

A simple explanation for declining temperature sensitivity with warming Open
Temperature sensitivity—the magnitude of a biological response per °C—is a fundamental concept across scientific disciplines, especially biology, where temperature determines the rate of many plant, animal and ecosystem processes. Recently…

Is photoperiod a dominant driver of secondary growth resumption? Open
Understanding the biological basis of social anxiety disorder (SAD), one of the most disabling of the anxiety disorders, will allow for novel treatment strategies to be developed. Here, we show that gut microbiota may be such a target. Mic…

Shifting phenology of an apex/specialist predator tracks changes in its favored prey Open
Phenology, or the timing of biological activities such as migration, growth, and reproduction, can have dramatic implications for fitness; consumer phenology that is out of step with its resource phenology can cause increased mortality or …

How do climate change experiments alter plot‐scale climate? Open
To understand and forecast biological responses to climate change, scientists frequently use field experiments that alter temperature and precipitation. Climate manipulations can manifest in complex ways, however, challenging interpretatio…

Site- and Species-Specific Influences on Sub-Alpine Conifer Growth in Mt. Rainier National Park, USA Open
Identifying the factors that influence the climate sensitivity of treeline species is critical to understanding carbon sequestration, forest dynamics, and conservation in high elevation forest/meadow ecotones. Using tree cores from four su…
View article: Competition and facilitation may lead to asymmetric range shift dynamics with climate change
Competition and facilitation may lead to asymmetric range shift dynamics with climate change Open
Forecasts of widespread range shifts with climate change stem from assumptions that climate drives species' distributions. However, local adaptation and biotic interactions also influence range limits and thus may impact range shifts. Desp…

Climate from Climate Change Experiments Open
The Climate from Climate Change Experiments (C3E) database contains daily climate data (soil and air temperature, and soil moisture) from 12 active warming experiments.The data in this database were collected between 1991 and 2014 from Nor…

Instant death, slow death and the consequences of assumptions about prolonged dormancy for plant population dynamics Open
Summary Many perennial plants experience prolonged dormancy, meaning they do not grow above‐ground for one or several growing seasons. When plants disappear (fail to sprout) and have not been recorded to re‐emerge, they either have died or…
