Short summary

We explored the causes and consequences for the evolution of life-history traits (seed dormancy & size) in lodgepole pine in British Columbia, Canada and found that dynamic climate rather than constant geography are the environmental driving forces in seed dormancy and size variations. Evapotranspiration and precipitation are the most critical climate variables and we predicted that levels of seed dormancy in lodgepole pine would increase across large geographical tracts in 2050s.
