Climate change threats to plant diversity in Europe.
Climate change has already triggered species distribution shifts in many parts of the world. Increasing impacts are expected for the future, yet few studies have aimed for a general understanding of the regional basis for species vulnerability. We projected late 21st century distributions for 1,350 European plants species under seven climate change scenarios. Application of the International Un...
متن کاملThreats from climate change to terrestrial vertebrate hotspots in Europe.
We identified hotspots of terrestrial vertebrate species diversity in Europe and adjacent islands. Moreover, we assessed the extent to which by the end of the 21(st) century such hotspots will be exposed to average monthly temperature and precipitation patterns which can be regarded as extreme if compared to the climate experienced during 1950-2000. In particular, we considered the entire Europ...
متن کاملResponses to historical climate change identify contemporary threats to diversity in Dodecatheon.
Anthropogenic climate change may threaten many species with extinction. However, species at risk today survived global climate change in recent geological history. Describing how habitat tracking and adaptation allowed species to survive warming since the end of the Pleistocene can indicate the relative importance of dispersal and natural selection during climate change. By taking this historic...
متن کاملClimate change poses health threats in Arctic.
sea ice open new corridors into previously remote communities in the Arctic, residents can expect a wave of social ills and the introduction of diseases that may be as devastating as the Spanish flu was to those living in the North in the early 1990s, experts say. “A second wave of tumultuous change” is threatening Inuit health, says Sheila Watt-Cloutier, Inuit activist, former international ch...
متن کاملClimate change impacts in Europe
The PESETA research project integrates a set of high-resolution climate change projections and physicalmodels into an economic modelling framework to quantify the impacts of climate change on vulnerableaspects of Europe. Four market impact categories are considered (agriculture, river floods, coastal systems,and tourism) and one non-market category (human health). Considering the ma...
