Impacts of Climate Change on Native Landcover: Seeking Future Climatic Refuges

Impacts of Climate Change on Native Landcover: Seeking Future Climatic Refuges

Climate change is a driver for diverse impacts on global biodiversity. We investigated its impacts on native landcover distribution in South America, seeking to predict its effect as a new force driving habitat loss and population isolation. Moreover, we mapped potential future climatic refuges, which are likely to be key areas for biodiversity conservation under climate change scenarios. Clima...

Climate Change Impacts on Native Plant Communities in Melanesia

Impacts of climate change on the future of biodiversity.

Many studies in recent years have investigated the effects of climate change on the future of biodiversity. In this review, we first examine the different possible effects of climate change that can operate at individual, population, species, community, ecosystem and biome scales, notably showing that species can respond to climate change challenges by shifting their climatic niche along three ...

Assessment of impacts of future climate change on water resources of the Hulu Langat basin using the swat model

Climatically-mediated landcover change: impacts on Brazilian territory.

In the face of climate change threats, governments are drawing attention to policies for mitigating its effects on biodiversity. However, the lack of distribution data makes predictions at species level a difficult task, mainly in regions of higher biodiversity. To overcome this problem, we use native landcover as a surrogate biodiversity, because it can represent specialized habitat for specie...
