Continent-wide tree fecundity driven by indirect climate effects
Indirect climate effects on tree fecundity that come through variation in size and growth
(climate-condition interactions) are not currently part of models used to predict future forests.
Trends in species abundances predicted from meta-analyses and species distribution
models will be misleading if they depend on the conditions of individuals. Here we find from a
synthesis of tree species in North America that climate-condition interactions dominate
responses through two pathways, i) effects of growth that depend on climate, and ii) effects
