Climatic Factors in Beechnut Regeneration: From Seed Quality to Germination
StressesMasting, or the synchronous and intermittent production of seeds, can have profound consequences for Tropical Montane Cloud Forest (TMCF) tree populations and the trophic webs that depend on their mass flowering and seeds.

South-East European ForestryEuropean beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) is characterized by inter-annual cycles of seed production (masting), with synchronized high seed production between sites in some years.

PLoS ONE, 2019 Mast flowering is synchronised highly variable flowering by a population of perennial plants over a wide geographical area. High seeding years are seen as a threat to native and endangered species due to high predator density caused by the abundance of ...

The roles of dispersal, fecundity, and predation in the population persistence of an oak (Quercus engelmannii) under global change. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 A species' response to climate change depends on the interaction of biotic and abiotic factors that define future habitat suitability and species' ability to migrate or adapt.

Wind Energy, 2000 AbstractAn often encountered problem when preparing the basic input data for a wind atlas study is the correction for the influence of the house or hut on which the mast—whose data form the basis of this wind atlas—is placed. The article will describe an experiment where this problem has been addressed.

An ecologist's view of genetics from Studying the genetic basis of masting
, 2021 The mechanisms underlying mast seeding have traditionally been studied by collecting long-term observational data on seed crops and correlating seedfall with environmental variables.

Effects of Sitka spruce masting on phenology and demography of siskins Spinus spinus
Scientific Reports, 2021 Masting behaviour of Sitka spruce Picea sitchensis may influence Eurasian siskin Spinus spinus breeding ecology as breeding siskins specialize on spruce seeds.

High stand density improves seed production in seed orchards of the masting species Picea abies

Climate change weakens the tie between weather and mast seeding
Communications Biology, 2021 Climate change has been shown to affect the interannual variation and synchrony among individuals in seed production of masting trees, yet the proximate mechanisms driving these patterns remain unclear. A recent study by Michał Bogdziewicz and colleagues
