Climate-warming alters resource allocation in unpredictable ways

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Indirect effects of climate change on demographic processes are likely widespread but difficult to measure. Hacket-Pain et al. show that climate warming increased European beech seed production, depleting internal resources and causing long-term growth declines. If similar trade-offs occur across species, climate change may weaken forest resilience through resource depletion.
