The duration of high spring light for understorey plants: Contrasting responses to spatial and temporal temperature variation

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 9, Page 2526-2538, September 2025.
Over 7 years, warmer springs were associated with earlier leaf‐out of two temperate forest understorey herbs and of the trees above them, but the effect was stronger for the herbs. This suggests that climate warming will prolong the relatively brief period of high light available to understorey plants in spring, which is a key determinant of their ...
