Climate‐induced resource bottlenecks exacerbate species vulnerability: a review (2015, background): “(2015) 21, 731–743 A J ou rn al o f Co ns er va y D iv er si ty a nd D is tr ib ut io ns assessments that attempt to take into account climate change (Easterling et al., 2000; Jentsch et al., 2007; Jentsch & Beierkuhnlein, 2008; Cunningham et al., 2013).”
Extreme climatic events in relation to global change and their impact on life histories (2011, background): “The literature on adaptation to climate change primarily involves research into adaptation to climate trends, and not to extreme climatic events (Jentsch et al., 2007).”
Will Extreme Climatic Events Facilitate Biological Invasions (2012, background): “This definition can also account for the relative “abruptness” of events (the magnitude of change per unit time), which will depend on the length of species life cycles and the successional stages of ecosystems (Jentsch et al. 2007).”
Extreme weather events and plant–plant interactions: shifts between competition and facilitation among grassland species in the face of drought and heavy rainfall (2014, background): “Our study is part of the EVENT I experiment analysing the effects of extreme weather events and plant diversity on ecosystem functions (Jentsch et al. 2007).”
Effects of drought on avian community structure (2009, background): “While trends in mean conditions are clearly important, mounting evidence suggests that changes in the frequency distribution of extreme events may have equally far-reaching implications (e.g. Jentsch et al., 2007).”
Will a 385 million year‐struggle for light become a struggle for water and for carbon? – How trees may cope with more frequent climate change‐type drought events (2011, background): “Droughts have always been a normal recurrent disturbance in many forest ecosystems but predictions of climate change foresee more frequent catastrophic climate events with important impacts on these ecosystems (Jentsch et al., 2007).”
Temperature sensitivity of drought-induced tree mortality portends increased regional die-off under global-change-type drought (2009, background): “G lobal change assessments and supporting research have largely focused on how vegetation will respond to incremental changes in the central tendency of climate variables, but the most dramatic vegetation shifts are likely to result from changes in climate extremes altering patterns of disturbance e”
Disturbance and landscape dynamics in a changing world. (2010, background): “Spatial and temporal variation in disturbance and successional processes must be incorporated more explicitly into studies of global change, augmenting ongoing work (e.g., Jentsch et al. 2007, Hopkinson et al. 2008).”
A decade of climate change experiments on marine organisms: procedures, patterns and problems (2012, background): “…their impact-domain and identify worst case scenarios, or identify the impacts of discrete events such as heat waves or cyclones (reviewed in Jentsch et al., 2007), the outcomes of such studies are arguably of limited ecological relevance in relation to understanding impacts of overall…”
Biodiversity, climate change, and ecosystem services (2009, background): “They call for a new class of experiments that will examine the impacts of such events and to probe which systems may be most resilient to these perturbations [53].”
