Climate is the main environmental driver determining the spatial distribution of most tree
species at the continental scale. We investigated the distribution change of European beech …

We compared results derived using three different approaches to assess the suitability of
common tree species on the Franconian Plateau in southern Germany under projected …

Climate change is affecting species distribution and ecosystem form and function. Forests
provide a range of ecosystem services, and understanding their vulnerability to climate …

Forest conservation strategies and plans can be unsuccessful if the new habitat conditions
determined by climate change are not considered. Our work aims at investigating the …

Aim During recent and future climate change, shifts in large‐scale species ranges are
expected due to the hypothesized major role of climatic factors in regulating species …

This study estimates the present and future distribution potential of 12 thermophilic and rare
tree species for Europe based on climate-soil sensitive species distribution models (SDMs) …

Key message Climate envelope analysis of nine tree species shows that Fagus sylvatica L.
and Picea abies H. Karst could lose 58% and 40% of their current distribution range …

Climate change will affect forests in Germany through the end of this century. The impacts of
climate change on forest productivity, water budget and the associated biotic and abiotic …

The growth behavior of coexisting tree species under climate change is important from an
ecological, silvicultural and economic perspective. While many previous studies are …

A bioclimatic model based on physiological constraints to plant growth and regeneration is
used here in an empirical way to describe the present natural distributions of northern …
