Shifting Global Invasive Potential of European Plants with Climate Change
Global climate change and invasions by nonnative species rank among the top concerns for agents of biological loss in coming decades. Although each of these themes has seen considerable attention in the modeling and forecasting communities, their joint effects remain little explored and poorly understood. We developed ecological niche models for 1804 species from the European flora, which we pr...
متن کاملGlobal potential distribution of an invasive species, the yellow crazy ant (Anoplolepis gracilipes) under climate change.
Changes to the Earth's climate may affect the distribution of countless species. Understanding the potential distribution of known invasive species under an altered climate is vital to predicting impacts and developing management policy. The present study employs ecological niche modeling to construct the global potential distribution range of the yellow crazy ant (Anoplolepis gracilipes) using...
متن کاملFive potential consequences of climate change for invasive species.
Scientific and societal unknowns make it difficult to predict how global environmental changes such as climate change and biological invasions will affect ecological systems. In the long term, these changes may have interacting effects and compound the uncertainty associated with each individual driver. Nonetheless, invasive species are likely to respond in ways that should be qualitatively pre...
متن کاملEuropean Climate Change Policy in a Global Context
Introduction The purpose of this paper is to analyse the evolution and state of policy towards climate change in the European Union (EU), to assess prospects for the EU meeting its carbon dioxide CO2 emission target, and to consider future options for EU climate policy and their international implications. Because detailed accounts of the science are available elsewhere, for this paper it is su...
