Structural and functional plasticity of Quercus ilex seedlings of different provenances in Italy (2003, positive): “Local adaptation results when a population has evolved through natural selection in response to specific ecological conditions (Ducousso et al. 1996), and temperature is probably the major selecting agent causing population differentiation (Saxe et al. 2001).”
Foliar morphology and canopy nitrogen as predictors of light-use efficiency in terrestrial vegetation (2003, background): “Of particular note, canopy attributes (Ncanopy, Nmass, L and Marea) embodied in the index are known to be sensitive to changes in climate and atmospheric chemistry (Ceulemans and Mousseau, 1994; Haxeltine and Prentice, 1996; Pritchard et al., 1999; Saxe et al., 2001).”
Ecology and ecosystem impacts of common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica): a review (2007, background): “Phenological adaptation to climate is thought to be constrained by trade-offs between maximizing carbon fixation during the growing season and avoiding frost damage in spring and fall (Saxe et al. 2001).”
Light Heterogeneity and Plants: from Ecophysiology to Species Coexistence and Biodiversity (2003, background): “Consequently, species with a high degree of phenotypic plasticity should express less dinal and/or ecotypic differentiation (Saxe et al. 2001).”
A climatic basis for microrefugia: the influence of terrain on climate (2011, background): “…on the influence of climate change on plants has focused on adaptations to higher minimum temperatures, increased temperature variance, and trade-offs between utilizing the full growing season and minimizing frost damage through the timing of budbreak and hardening [reviewed by Saxe et al. (2001)].”
Forecasting the Effects of Global Warming on Biodiversity (2007, methodology): “Yet another way is to use better methods to represent the effects of changing CO2, ozone, and other environmental factors (e.g., Saxe et al. 2000, Norby et al. 2001).”
Competition modulates the adaptation capacity of forests to climatic stress: insights from recent growth decline and death in relict stands of the Mediterranean fir Abies pinsapo (2010, background): “Both drought and stand structural changes have the potential to profoundly alter the growth and vigour of tree populations (Saxe et al. 2001; Sarris, Christodoulakis & Körner 2007; Thuiller et al. 2008).”
Forest phenology and a warmer climate – growing season extension in relation to climatic provenance (2012, background): “A known effect of higher temperatures is to accelerate bud burst (BB), flowering, and stem elongation in spring, and thus extend the growing season, potentially increasing growth and productivity (Grace, 1988; Saxe et al., 2001; Badeck et al., 2004; Vitasse et al., 2009; Richardson et al., 2010).”
Can drought tolerance of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) be increased through thinning? (2010, background): “4, 79085 Freiburg, Germany e-mail: martin.kohler@waldbau.uni-freiburg.de storms) has already increased markedly during the last two decades (Meehl and Tebaldi 2004; Saxe et al. 2001).”
Increased forest biomass production in the Nordic and Baltic countries – a review on current and future opportunities (2016, background): “A longer growing season and enhanced mineralization of nitrogen may add to increased forest growth (Saxe et al. 2001; Kellomäki et al. 2005, 2008; Hyvönen et al. 2007; Alam et al. 2010).”
Intermittent low temperatures constrain spring recovery of photosynthesis in boreal Scots pine forests (2004, background): “Understanding of seasonal patterns of photosynthesis like the hardening and dehardening processes and their modulation by abiotic factors thus becomes an important issue in predicting tree responses to anticipated future climate changes (Saxe et al., 2001).”
Facilitations between the Introduced Nitrogen-fixing Tree, Robinia pseudoacacia, and Nonnative Plant Species in the Glacial Outwash Upland Ecosystem of Cape Cod, MA (2006, background): “However, the prediction of changes in tree species distribution and forest functioning in response to global climate change is difficult (Saxe et al. 2001).”
Species-specific climate sensitivity of tree growth in Central-West Germany (2009, background): “A warmer and drier climate could thus impact tree growth behavior directly, but also indirectly through influences on forest composition and vitality (Saxe et al. 2001; Thuiller 2004).”
