1 Introduction Forests worldwide annually sequester about one-third of anthropogenic CO2 emissions (Ruehr et al. 2023), with tree stem wood constituting the largest living carbon sink of these terrestrial ecosystems (Poorter et al. 2012). As tree stem growth depends on temperature, vapour pressure deficit (VPD) and water availability (Babst et al.

AbstractAlthough the global climate is warming, external forcing driven by explosive volcanic eruptions may still cause abrupt cooling. The 1809 and 1815 Tambora eruptions caused lasting cold extremes worldwide, providing a unique lens that allows us to investigate the magnitude of global forest resilience to and recovery from volcanic cooling.

AbstractThe benefits of masting (volatile, quasi-synchronous seed production at lagged intervals) include satiation of seed predators, but these benefits come with a cost to mutualist pollen and seed dispersers. If the evolution of masting represents a balance between these benefits and costs, we expect mast avoidance in species that are heavily reliant on mutualist dispersers.
