Phenotypic plasticity promotes persistence following severe events: physiological and morphological responses of seagrass to flooding (2014, background): “Phenotypic plasticity can be ecologically advantageous for habitat-forming species, with the persistence of such species following severe events likely to promote ecosystem stability (Lloret et al. 2012).”
Extreme drought alters competitive dominance within and between tree species in a mixed forest stand (2013, background): “Therefore, the changes that we report here may not herald a sudden shift in com- munity composition as the climate warms, because adult longevity is likely to combine with recruitment in favour- able years (Lloret et al. 2012).”
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): “Other studies have confirmed that plant communities facing extreme weather events are more stable than previously thought (Jentsch et al. 2011; Miranda et al. 2011; Lloret et al. 2012).”
Forest structure and species traits mediate projected recruitment declines in western US tree species (2015, background): “tolerance, plasticity, phenotypic variability) and through biotic interactions such as facilitation (Lloret et al., 2012).”
Bioclimatic velocity: the pace of species exposure to climate change (2014, background): “conditions of the current distribution of adult trees) as adults are far more resilient (Lloret et al., 2012).”
Effects of stand composition and tree size on resistance and resilience to drought in sessile oak and Scots pine (2015, background): “There is a large number of studies addressing this question (Bréda et45 al., 2006; Allen et al., 2010; Lloret et al., 2012).”
Intraspecific trait variability mediates the response of subalpine grassland communities to extreme drought events (2014, background): “However, this may also reflect the existence of stabilizing processes such as reduced adult mortality that minimize the short-term effect of drought on plant species composition (Lloret et al. 2012).”
Ecological and evolutionary responses of Mediterranean plants to global change. (2014, unknown): “heat waves and droughts (Gao et al., 2006; Gao and Giorgi, 2008; Hoerling et al., 2011; IPCC, 2012; Lloret et al., 2012).”
Climate variability and vulnerability to climate change: a review (2014, background): “…shifts resulting from increasingly frequent extreme climatic events is still comparatively rare, although what there is supports the existence of stabilizing processes which tend to minimize and counteract the effects of these events, reinforcing community resilience (Lloret et al., 2012).”
Environmental heterogeneity leads to higher plasticity in dry‐edge populations of a semi‐arid Chilean shrub: insights into climate change responses (2015, background): “Semi-arid ecosystems are characterized not only by permanent or seasonal water limitation but also by an ongoing increase in the interannual precipitation variability (D’Odorico & Bhattachan 2012), together with an intensification of extreme events (Easterling 2000; Lloret et al. 2012).”
Intensity and timing of warming and drought differentially affect growth patterns of co-occurring Mediterranean tree species (2013, background): “However, species present differential sensitivities to drought stress and to competition for space, water and light (Bolte et al. 2010; see discussion in Lloret et al. 2012).”
