Masting effect on canopy greenness and climate response on seed production of Fagus grandifolia subsp. mexicana across the Sierra Madre Oriental, Mexico

Specific proximate mechanisms as climate spatial fluctuations modify the pattern of synchronic reproduction (masting) or seed production at population level in the Fagus genus worldwide. However, phenological processes as mass flowering, beechnut development and seed rain have attracted attention to...
