Happy #solstice! Today, beech trees start to decide whether to produce bumper seed crops next year, or to skip reproduction next year. It is a marker for growth and phenology processes. @micbog.bsky.social talked to The Guardian about how it works: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

1/3: New paper: how do masting plants optimise the delay in reproduction? Having gaps (years) between reproductive events starves seed predators, increasing fitness. But they are also missed opportunities for reproduction. How do plants fine-tune the length of the time gaps to maximise fitness?

Breeding populations were younger in years that followed a higher beech crop 🌳🌳 – fitting evidence that this increases juvenile survival - and the relationship between masting and age structure was stronger when only assessing populations local to beech data collection. 5/n

Warmer summers are causing European beeches to produce seed more often, depleting the trees’ stored resources—an indirect effect of climate change that is threatening the sustainability of Europe’s most widespread forest tree. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

🌳🌳🌳 We have a new paper in @pnas.org showing climate warming leads to growth decline in beech because it drives trees to reproduce more frequently. Climate change can cause growth decline even when drought isn’t increasing by shifting where trees allocate resources doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2423181122

A remark from a referee ~40 yr back prompted this study. I launched it under the (later seen) wrong premise that it would last ~15 yr. But my marked plants lived much longer than anticipated, and it took me 38 yr to complete it. Here are the results. I defeated my plants in the race for survival.

Highlights
The fossil record suggests that climate change was the major driver of plant extinctions and regional extirpations from the Pliocene until recently, when anthropogenic habitat loss became dominant.
Known recent plant extinctions are disproportionately few in comparison with well-studied animal taxa, but many more species are probably committed to inevitable extinction unless given targeted support.
Recent warm-edge extirpations demonstrate the growing impact of anthropogenic climate change and show that predictions of massive climate-driven extinctions later this century are plausible.
The proximate causes for population extirpations are still rarely known but are likely to be highly varied and both species and location specific."

As we approach winter solstice, remember that European beech uses summer solstice to coordinate its masting events all across Europe! Beech seeding is triggered by high summer temps, and all trees across the range measure that after 21st of June. MIND BOGGLING. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Rye...

🧪It's nice to have a space to share some of our work! This one led by Robin Battison that came out recently in @newphyt.bsky.social I'm particulalrly fond of. It showcases how we can use repeat LiDAR to track forest dynamics at scale🛰️🌳 Check it out here: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
Tracking variation in tree demography across Australia's Great Western Woodlands using repeat airborne laser scanning (ALS). Panel (a) shows a canopy height model (CHM) of the entire study area (5 × 5 km) generated using ALS data acquired in 2012, while (b) shows variation in topographic wetness index across the same area. Panel (c) corresponds to a 500 × 500 m zoomed in section of the whole CHM, within which the crowns of individual canopy trees can be clearly seen. Changes in tree height between two ALS surveys (2012 and 2021) are depicted in (d), where trees that died or underwent crown dieback are clearly visible in dark brown.
