Source: Vegetation overcompensation after late-spring frost is widespread across terrestrial ecosystems · locator {} · excerpt hash sha256:066467e23e72e5ea8c9162d1a5f641807292d86392330b9ccd8985177865bbbc

Terrestrial vegetation can recover from late-spring frost and even compensate for frost-induced productivity losses. We show that reduced damage and enhanced regrowth jointly drive this overcompensation, a widespread phenomenon that is predicted to become more prevalent with climate warming.
