Using Climatic Credits to Pay the Climatic Debt

Ecological constraints increase the climatic debt in forests

Biodiversity changes are lagging behind current climate warming. The underlying determinants of this climatic debt are unknown and yet critical to understand the impacts of climate change on the present biota and improve forecasts of biodiversity changes. Here we assess determinants of climatic debt accumulated in French forest herbaceous plant communities between 1987 and 2008 (that is, a 1.05...

Climatic limitations to development in the tropics.

A large proportion of the lands which are commonly regarded as ‘underdeveloped’ lie on the earth’s surface between the Tropic of Cancer in the north and the Tropic of Capricorn in the south. Also it is true to say that a very large proportion of all land so situated can be described as underdeveloped. Though many countries in the tropics are developing and developing rapidly, it is still hard t...

How is the rate of climatic-niche evolution related to climatic-niche breadth?

The rate of climatic-niche evolution is important to many research areas in ecology, evolution, and conservation biology, including responses of species to global climate change, spread of invasive species, speciation, biogeography, and patterns of species richness. Previous studies have implied that clades with higher rates of climatic-niche evolution among species should have species with nar...
