Abstract Climate warming has induced pronounced shifts in the phenology of alpine plants worldwide, yet impact these changes on plant reproduction remains unclear, although plays a vital role reproduction. Based 7‐year field and altered precipitation experiment initiated 2017, we measured three reproductive phenological events seven traits six dominant species, belonging to two flowering functional groups, assess effects climate change consequence changing an meadow eastern Tibetan Plateau from 2021 2023. Warming significantly advanced start early‐spring (ESF) mid‐summer (MSF) plants, while fruiting period ESF remained stable. Furthermore, led decrease number seeds productivity seed size Phenological regulate success plants. Specifically, for MSF regulated respectively. The increase niche overlap intensification interspecific competition, caused by different responses groups warming, also are key factors contributing decline production Synthesis. These results demonstrate that would be decreased earlier under tend maintain stable response change. Our study emphasizes important regulatory indicative sexual future
