Accounting for ecological and genetic processes changes species distribution predictions: adaptation of mediterranean forests to climate change as a model
Résumé
Bioclimatic niche models predict drastic changes in the geographical distribution of forest species habitats by the end of the 21st century. However, these models rarely account for management and the dynamics of the forest response to climate change. Recent interdisciplinary research in diversity-rich Mediterranean forests shows how demographic and evolutionary processes change local forest structure and composition. Integrating knowledge of these multiple processes into a comprehensive modeling approach is necessary to understand how species will track their habitats under changing environnemental conditions.
