Reconstructing the demise of Tethyan plants: climate‐driven range dynamics of Laurus since the Pliocene (2008, background): “Indeed, range expansions of thermophilous species are already being observed in montane areas of southern and central Europe (Walther, 2003), and northern Laurus populations might be experiencing a similar process (eventually helped by the species’ widespread use as an ornamental plant).”
Intraseasonal climate and habitat‐specific variability controls the flowering phenology of high alpine plant species (2010, background): “Considerable changes in the seasonality of species as a consequence of altered seasonal patterns of temperature were also demonstrated for a wide array of species (Scheifinger et al. 2002; Stenseth &Mysterud 2002; Walther 2003).”
Why does phenology drive species distribution? (2010, background): “Along with these changes, shifts in distribution have also been reported in numerous species (Hughes 2000; Walther et al. 2001, 2002; Parmesan & Yohe 2003; Root et al. 2003; Walther 2003; Lenoir et al. 2008).”
Running to stand still: adaptation and the response of plants to rapid climate change. (2005, background): “There is now considerable evidence that such changes in plant distribution are occurring (Walther et al. 2002; Parmesan & Yohe 2003; Walther 2003).”
Using functional groups to investigate community response to environmental changes: two grassland case studies (2007, background): “There are various indications that plants are often more successful invaders than herbivores or carnivores (Walther et al., 2002; Walther, 2004) – possibly an expression of their higher climatic tolerance (flexibility) compared with animals.”
Community and ecosystem responses to recent climate change (2010, background): “2009 for a review) allowed the establishment of a mixed community of native and alien evergreen broad-leaved species in former deciduous lowland forests south of the Alps (Walther 2004), with likely implications for seasonal carbon and water balances of the entire forest ecosystems.”
Spatial and temporal patterns of recent forest encroachment in montane grasslands of the Valles Caldera, New Mexico, USA (2007, background): “…included increased precipitation in semi-arid environments (Mast et al., 1998; Dyer & Moffett, 1999), decreased precipitation in mesic environments (Franklin et al., 1971; Butler, 1986), and warming at temperature-dependent arctic and alpine tree lines (e.g. Lloyd & Fastie, 2003; Walther, 2004).”
Integrating species distribution models and interacting particle systems to predict the spread of an invasive alien plant (2010, background): “In central Europe, for example, this may be relevant as the spread of many alien plants is thought to be currently limited or at least slowed by climatic constraints (Walther, 2002, 2003).”
