fecundity

The fundamental trade-off between current and future reproduction has long been considered to result in a tendency for species that can …

This paper reveals the effects of remotely sensed nutrient supply on forest reproduction across the United States. Consistent with our previous findings, we found increasing phosphorous is assocaited with low seed production at both species and landscape level.

The timing of spring green-up affects tree reproduction in the temperate and boreal forests.

This paper aims to understand the size-numbers trade-off in species seed production and how species traits have mediate the trade-off. The paper also reveals the effects of soil fertility on both individual and community fecundity at a global scale.

This paper compared the volatility metrics introduced by Qiu et al., (2023) Nature Plants and compared it with traditional metrics that measures masting

This paper confirmed the seed number-size trade-off across the trait spectrum based on the Species Seed Production (SSP) developed in Qiu et al. (2022), Nature Communications

This paper aims to understand the size-numbers trade-off in species seed production and how species traits have mediate the trade-off. The paper also reveals the effects of soil fertility on both individual and community fecundity at a global scale.

The orders of magnitude of differences in seed production from dry tundra to tropical rainforest beyond which can be explained by the Net Primary Production (NPP).

A global analysis finds that fecundity decline in large trees is pervasive, consistent with physiological decline, thus providing new evidence for tree senescence. For the 20% of species not showing fecundity declines, this lack of evidence was linked not to specific species groups, but rather to lack of large trees in the data.

This paper quantified the community reorganizations from adults to fecundity to seedling recruitment.
