Less favourable climates constrain demographic strategies in plants
Correlative species distribution models are based on the observed relationship between species' occurrence and macroclimate or other environmental variables. In climates predicted less favourable populations are expected to decline, and in favourable climates they are expected to persist. However, little comparative empirical support exists for a relationship between predicted climate suitabili...
متن کاملPhotosynthesis in variable environments
Preface Photosynthesis in variable environments Photosynthesis is one of the most important biochemical processes, underlying almost all life. It is also one of the most vulnerable to environmental stress. Irradiance changes over the diurnal cycle is broadly predictable but, superimposed on that cycle, changes in cloud cover can cause order-of-magnitude variations in irradiance from second to s...
متن کاملVariable timing of reproduction in unpredictable environments: adaption of flood plain plants.
We study the evolutionarily stable reproductive timing of annual plants that face unpredictable environmental disturbances. Plants living in a riverbed often experience a disturbance before they reproduce, suffering major fitness loss. Plants reproducing prior to the flood season are free from the risk of lost reproduction, but a small flowering plant can produce only a few numbers of seeds. If...

15 Demographic Senescence in Herbaceous Plants
For herbaceous plants, in contrast to many higher animals but similarly to other modular and sedentary life forms, it is not so much a question of how senescence progresses as it is a question of whether senescence occurs at all for most species. Overall, both the empirical evidence and theoretical predictions provide contrasting evidence. Monocarpic species and other semelparous life forms are...
