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 …

Five (or so) challenges for species distribution modelling
Species distribution modelling is central to both fundamental and applied research in
biogeography. Despite widespread use of models, there are still important conceptual …

Biogeography and variability of eleven mineral elements in plant leaves across gradients of climate, soil and plant functional type in China
Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 788–796 Abstract Understanding variation of plant nutrients is
largely limited to nitrogen and to a lesser extent phosphorus. Here we analyse patterns of …

Spatial pattern of greenspace affects land surface temperature: evidence from the heavily urbanized Bei**g metropolitan area, China
The urban heat island describes the phenomenon that air/surface temperatures are higher
in urban areas compared to their surrounding rural areas. Numerous studies have shown …

The importance of biotic interactions for modelling species distributions under climate change
Aim There is a debate as to whether biotic interactions exert a dominant role in governing
species distributions at macroecological scales. The prevailing idea is that climate is the key …
