Climate Change Impacts on Protea Species: PDEAR Model Predictions
نویسندگان
چکیده
One of the major concerns today is global warming and climate change impacts, and how they are changing the distribution and behaviour of the plant species. For example, Proteas species in the Cape Floristic Region, South Africa, are very sensitive to climate change. In this paper, we first arguing and the random fuzzy error structure for spatial modelling accuracy and then we are focusing on the population category of rare Proteas that has an estimated population size from 1 to 10 per sample site, which is very small. We develop a bivariate partial differential equation associated regression (PDEAR) model for investigating the impacts from rainfall and temperature on the Protea species. Under same the average biodiversity structure assumptions, we explore the future spatial change patterns of Protea species with future (average) predicted rainfall and temperature. Our investigation shows that the global climate change impacts on distributional patterns of the endangered Protea species are significant.

Climate change is currently considered a serious threat for many species and recognized as one of the most important factors in the global biodiversity loss. Among animal groups, amphibians are known to be among the most sensitive groups of vertebrates to climate change due to their inability to travel long distances, and mountain habitat species are more exposed to climate change pressures tha...
