However, many long‐term demographic studies focus on populations monitored in protected areas, and our understanding of how climate change will affect population persistence under anthropogenic land use is still limited.</jats:list-item> <jats:list-item>To fill this knowledge gap, we assessed the consequences of co‐occurring land‐use and climate change on vital rates and population dynamics of a fire‐adapted Mediterranean carnivorous subshrub, the dewy pine (<jats:italic>Drosophyllum lusitanicum</jats:italic>). We used 7 years of individual data on 4753 plants monitored in three natural heathland sites that experience primarily fire as a disturbance, and five anthropogenic sites, where fires have been replaced by persistent disturbances from browsing or mechanical vegetation removal as a consequence of land‐use change. All sites are projected to experience increasingly hotter summers and drier falls and winters. We used generalised additive models to model non‐linear responses of survival, growth and reproduction to rainfall, temperature, size, density and time since fire in anthropogenic and natural dewy‐pine populations. We then projected population dynamics under climate‐change scenarios using an individual‐based model.</jats:list-item> <jats:list-item>Our findings reveal that vital rates respond differently to climate change in anthropogenic compared to natural habitats. While extinction risks did not change under climate change in natural habitats, future higher summer temperatures decreased survival and led to population declines and higher extinction probabilities in anthropogenic habitats.</jats:list-item> <jats:list-item><jats:italic>Synthesis</jats:italic>. Our results highlight the possible dramatic effects of climate change on populations largely confined to chronically disturbed, anthropogenic habitats and provide a foundation for devising relevant management strategies aiming towards the protection of species in human‐disturbed habitats of the Mediterranean habitat. Overall, our findings emphasize the need for more long‐term studies in managed landscapes.</jats:list-item> </jats:list>","PeriodicalId":191,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ecology","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145035299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding their phylogenetic and environmental controls is vital for predicting plant responses to global change. Fabaceae is one of the most ecologically and economically important plant families, yet how phylogeny and environment shape leaf and root nutrient concentrations remains unclear at broad spatial scales.</jats:list-item> <jats:list-item>We measured six nutrient concentrations (N, P, S, K, Ca and Mg) in both the leaves and roots of 121 Fabaceae species across various vegetation types in China. Standardized major axis regression was used to assess nutrient allocation strategies between leaves and roots, and Bayesian phylogenetic mixed‐effects models were applied to quantify the relative influences of phylogeny and environmental factors on nutrient concentrations.</jats:list-item> <jats:list-item>We found that S, K and Mg exhibited isometric scaling between leaves and roots, whereas N and P accumulated more slowly in leaves, and Ca more slowly in roots. According to the stable nutrient content hypothesis, elements critical for plant function tend to have more tightly regulated and stable concentrations. In line with this, the stability of N and P in leaves likely reflects their essential roles in photosynthesis, while the stable concentration of Ca in roots may be related to its role in supporting mycorrhizal symbiosis. For most nutrients, phylogeny accounted for a greater proportion of the variance in nutrient concentrations than environmental factors. However, environmental variables accounted for more variance in leaf P and K than phylogeny, with mean annual temperature being the strongest environmental predictor for both. This suggests that these two nutrients may play a particularly important role in the environmental adaptation of Fabaceae species.</jats:list-item> <jats:list-item><jats:italic>Synthesis</jats:italic>.

Understanding the growth mechanisms driving woody biomass production is essential for assessing the short‐ and long‐term contributions to carbon stocks and dynamics in tropical forests.</jats:list-item> <jats:list-item>Trees accumulate biomass by increasing their size (wood volume) and/or tissue density (wood density). However, estimates of tree biomass production are often based solely on size increment through measurements of stem diameter growth, overlooking the potential spatial and temporal variation in wood density within trees. Tree‐ring analysis can be applied to reconstruct past tree volume‐growth and wood‐density variations, allowing the quantification of their relative contributions when reconstructing past woody biomass production.</jats:list-item> <jats:list-item>Here, we studied trees of the widespread Neotropical genus <jats:italic>Cedrela</jats:italic> along an environmental (climate and soil) gradient to address two key questions: (1) How does temporal variation in tree diameter growth and wood density affect biomass production? (2) To what extent do these relationships vary along the environmental gradient? We examined both long‐term (ontogenetic) and short‐term (annual) variations in diameter growth and wood density, covering eighteen sites in the Amazon rainforest, Atlantic Forest, Cerrado savanna and Caatinga dry forest.</jats:list-item> <jats:list-item>We found that diameter growth and wood density drive short‐ and long‐term biomass production dynamics. Interestingly, diameter growth patterns predominantly explained short‐term variability in biomass production at all sites, whereas wood density explained ontogenetic biomass patterns mainly at humid sites.
