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) …

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 …

Although numerous species distribution models have been developed, most were based on
insufficient distribution data or used older climate change scenarios. We aimed to quantify …

Global warming and increasing drought severity are exposing temperate forests to
increasing stress, challenging silvicultural decision making. Growth analyses in marginal …

Abstract Knowledge of the ecological requirements determining tree species distributions is
a precondition for sustainable forest management. At present, the abiotic requirements and …

Almost all climate change studies of plants and animals adopt an 'equilibrium
assumption'that analyses of natural distributions provide reliable estimates of species …

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 …

Alien tree species are considered both a threat to nature conservation and a base for forest
management. We compiled species occurrences from biodiversity databases, forest …

In this ecological risk assessment we evaluated potential climate-induced vegetation
changes in mountain forests of Central Europe and possible impacts on species richness …

The ongoing global climate change is challenging all sectors, forestry notwithstanding. On
the one hand, forest ecosystems are exposed to and threatened by climate change, but on …
