Methods and uncertainties in bioclimatic envelope modelling under climate change
Potential impacts of projected climate change on biodiversity are often assessed using single-species bioclimatic ‘envelope’ models. Such models are a special case of species distribution models in which the current geographical distribution of species is related to climatic variables so to enable projections of distributions under future climate change scenarios. This work reviews a number of ...
متن کاملUncertainty in Projected Impacts of Climate Change on Biodiversity a Focus on African Vertebrates
Africa is predicted to be highly vulnerable to 21st century climatic changes. Assessing the impacts of these changes on Africa’s biodiversity is, however, plagued by uncertainties, and markedly different results can be obtained from alternative bioclimatic envelope models or future climate projections. Using an ensemble forecasting framework, we examine projections of future shifts in climatic ...

متن کاملPotential geographic distribution of Prangos ferulacea (L.) Lindl. in Chaharmahal va Bakhtiari province under climate change scenarios
Prangos ferulacea (L.) Lindl is a perennial plant that besides fodder and medicinal values the plant can help to control soil erosion. There is little knowledge about the effect of climate change on the Prangos genus especially P. ferulacea. In this study, we used ensemble modeling based on five species distribution models to predict the potential effects of climate change on the future geograp...
متن کاملReserve Design under Climate Change: From Land Facets Back to Ecosystem Representation
Ecosystem distributions are expected to shift as a result of global warming, raising concerns about the long-term utility of reserve systems based on coarse-filter ecosystem representation. We tested the extent to which proportional ecosystem representation targets would be maintained under a changing climate by projecting the distribution of the major ecosystems of Alberta, Canada, into the fu...
