Climate change is known to be a driver of changes in forest plant communities and to modify disturbance regimes. We investigated whether forest gaps favoured vegetation adaptation to warmer climates by accelerating the shift of plant communities to a warmer‐adapted composition independently of canopy closure linked to natural forest dynamics.

暴风雨引起的树冠开口加速了温带森林对全球变暖的适应

众所周知，气候变化是森林植物群落变化的驱动力，并且会改变干扰机制。我们调查了森林间隙是否通过加速植物群落向适应气候变化的成分转变，而不依赖于与自然森林动态相关的树冠封闭，是否有利于植被适应温暖的气候。
