Climate change continues to reshape our natural ecosystems, and its impact on tree populations is a topic of great concern. Recent study (link: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/gcb.16730) led by Michal Bogdziewicz investigating the response of European beech (Fagus sylvatica) to climate warming has uncovered intriguing insights into the complex relationship between tree reproduction, climate change, and forest dynamics.
