Significant gaps remain in understanding the response of plant reproduction to environmental change. This is partly because measuring reproduction in long‐lived plants requires direct observation over many years and such datasets have rarely been made publicly available. Here we introduce MASTREE+, a data set that collates reproductive time‐series data from across the globe and makes these data freely...
Prosopis burkartii is a critically endangered phreatophyte legume endemic to the Atacama Desert of northern Chile where only 50 individuals remain. We studied seasonal water variables and flower parameters in a population of 15P. burkartii individuals. For each tree, xylem water potential (Ψ) was estimated by measuring two twigs with a Scholander pressure bomb. Each month, we made 3 measurements of...
Key messageThere were trade-offs between acorn production and stem growth in individuals ofQuercus ilex, and these occurred with annual and intra-annual periods. The costs of reproduction differed significantly between two study sites. Abstract Reproduction in trees often requires significant resources, and...
Located in the Atacama desert of northern Chile, Pampa del Tamarugal is a hyperarid ecosystem characterized by extreme arid conditions (<0.7 mm of annual precipitation) and relatively scarce vegetation, dominated by arboreal species of Prosopis tamarugo. These unfavorable environmental conditions can affect the quantity and diversity of prey available for carnivores, making Pampa del Tamarugal...
