Abstract:
... Climate change and land-use changes are the main drivers altering fire regimes and leading to the occurrence of megafires. Current management policies mainly focus on short-term restoration without considering how climate change might affect regeneration dynamics. We aimed to test the usefulness of ecological niche models (ENMs) to integrate the effects of climate change on tree species distributi ...

Abstract:
... Plant–plant interactions are dynamic and complicated processes that strongly influence soil nutrient cycling in ecosystems. Climate warming-induced drought stress and the duration of plant interactions may reshape or complicate this ecological process. However, little is known about how plant–plant interaction time (co-growth duration) combined with drought stress affect soil chemical properties a ...
