Plant growth responses to winter climate change: from amongand within-species variation to plant-soil interactions
Winter climate change is a complex phenomenon, with snow depth, soil freezing dynamics, and variable air temperature all interacting to bring about differences in among- and within-species growth responses. The objective was to detect growth differences in the responses of species, ecotypes and …

Beyond productivity- Effects of extreme weather events on ecosystem processes and biotic interactions
… was more vulnerable towards drought exposure. Winter warming and additional winter rain had no long-term effect on decomposition. To conclude, projected increases in drought frequency under climate change may inhibit decomposition and alter nutrient and carbon cycling along with soil quality in …

Using Self-Organizing Maps to Calculate Chilling Hours as an Indicator of Temperature Shifts During Winter in the Southeastern United States
Several warm winter events have occurred across the Southeast in the past decade, including 2 major events in 2017 and 2018 in Georgia and South Carolina. Plants will begin their spring growth sooner than climatology would suggest and then be damaged by early spring frosts in what is commonly known …

GENOMIC TOOLS TO IMPROVE PEACH (P. PERSICA L. BATSCH) RESILIENCE TO CLIMATE CHALLENGES
… occurrence at blooming time. However, higher winter average temperatures recorded in recent years may lead to anticipated budbreak increasing the magnitude of this phenomenon. The counterpart of winter warming is that, especially in tropical and subtropical growing areas, peach and other …

Using population ecology to inform the conservation of Nevada's rare plants
… climate model showed negative effects of winter warming and late snowmelt, and positive effects of summer precipitation on population trends, with no interactions with ski area impacts. We observed that these populations are often driven by high survival, with low recruitment. Lastly, we …
