Background A principal function of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on
Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) is to “perform regular and timely assessments …

We synthesize insights from current understanding of drought impacts at stand‐to‐
biogeographic scales, including management options, and we identify challenges to be …

There is mounting evidence of species redistribution as climate warms. Yet, our knowledge
of the coupling between species range shifts and isotherm shifts remains limited. Here, we …

Central and South America (CSA) is a highly diverse region, both culturally and biologically.
It has one of the highest levels of biodiversity on the planet (Hoorn et al., 2010; Zador et al …

Patterns, mechanisms, projections, and consequences of tree mortality and associated
broad‐scale forest die‐off due to drought accompanied by warmer temperatures—“hotter …

Poleward and upward shifts are the most frequent types of range shifts that have been
reported in response to contemporary climate change. However, the number of reports …

Climate change is altering the distributions of species, which in turn causes shifts in the
composition of plant communities. Specifically, rising temperatures should cause increasing …

Glaciers in the tropical Andes have been retreating for the past several decades, leading to
a temporary increase in dry season water supply downstream. Projected future glacier …

Climate change can have profound impacts on biodiversity and the sustainability of many
ecosystems. Various studies have investigated the impacts of climate change, but large …

Global warming is forcing many species to shift their distributions upward, causing
consequent changes in the compositions of species that occur at specific locations. This …
