Year: 2021

Abstract Aim This work explores whether the commonly observed positive range size–niche breadth relationship exists for Fagus , one of the most dominant and widespread broad‐leaved deciduous tree genera in temperate forests of the Northern Hemisphere. Additionally, we ask whether the 10 extant Fagus species’ niche breadths and climatic tolerances are under phylogenetic control. Location Northern Hemisphere temperate forests. Taxon Fagus L.
