• Tree recruitment of European tree species at their current upper elevational limits in the Swiss Alps (2012, background): “The abundant presence of young life stages above the adult tree limit suggests a response to recent climatic warming, matching the trend of rising abundance maxima found in various mountain areas in France (Lenoir et al., 2009).”
• Contemporary climate change alters the pace and drivers of extinction (2011, background): “…detected in checkerspot butterflies in the Sierra Nevada of California (Parmesan, 2006), montane trees (Fischer, 1994), amphibian species in cloud forests (Pounds et al., 1999), and in pygmy rabbits in valleys of the Great Basin (Larrucea & Brussard, 2008), among many others (Lenoir et al., 2009).”
• Climate change and plant regeneration from seed (2011, background): “With recent warming, seedlings of Mediterranean forest species have established in temperate mountain forests (Peñuelas & Boada, 2003; Lenoir et al., 2009), and with experimental soil warming increased recruitment of lowland sagebrush occurred in”
• Mediterranean pine and oak distribution in southern Spain: Is there a mismatch between regeneration and adult distribution? (2011, background): “A similar mismatch between regeneration and adult distribution has been found in 13 forest species in the French mountains, and has been attributed to the effect of global warming (Lenoir et al. 2009).”
• Fluctuating ungulate density shapes tree recruitment in natural stands of the BiałOwieża Primeval Forest, Poland. (2010, background): “However, the more recent rapid changes in climate have also been suggested to affect tree recruitment of certain species and result in range expansion or contraction, for example, affecting altitudinal distribution in mountainous habitats (Hofgaard et al. 2009; Lenoir et al. 2009; Landhausser et al.”
• Forest structure and species traits mediate projected recruitment declines in western US tree species (2015, background): “15–100 cm high) show differences in their climatic niche when compared with conspecific adults (> 13 cm in stem diameter) as this may provide evidence of incipient range shifts (Lenoir et al., 2009; Zhu et al., 2011; Bell et al., 2014).”
