Phenological and elevational shifts of plants, animals and fungi under climate change in the E uropean A lps
Mountain areas are biodiversity hotspots and provide a multitude of ecosystem services of
irreplaceable socio‐economic value. In the European Alps, air temperature has increased at …

Climate change and California's terrestrial biodiversity
In this review and synthesis, we argue that California is an important test case for the nation
and world because terrestrial biodiversity is very high, present and anticipated threats to …

The impacts of increasing drought on forest dynamics, structure, and biodiversity in the United States
We synthesize insights from current understanding of drought impacts at stand‐to‐
biogeographic scales, including management options, and we identify challenges to be …

Persist in place or shift in space? Evaluating the adaptive capacity of species to climate change
Assessing the vulnerability of species to climate change serves as the basis for climate‐
adaptation planning and climate‐smart conservation, and typically involves an evaluation of …

Hydrologic refugia, plants, and climate change
Climate, physical landscapes, and biota interact to generate heterogeneous hydrologic
conditions in space and over time, which are reflected in spatial patterns of species …

Improvements in reports of species redistribution under climate change are required
Studies have documented climate change–induced shifts in species distributions but
uncertainties associated with data and methods are typically unexplored. We reviewed 240 …

Why are species' traits weak predictors of range shifts?
We examine the evidence linking species' traits to contemporary range shifts and find they
are poor predictors of range shifts that have occurred over decades to a century. We then …

Managing consequences of climate‐driven species redistribution requires integration of ecology, conservation and social science
Climate change is driving a pervasive global redistribution of the planet's species. Species
redistribution poses new questions for the study of ecosystems, conservation science and …

Twentieth-century shifts in forest structure in California: Denser forests, smaller trees, and increased dominance of oaks
We document changes in forest structure between historical (1930s) and contemporary
(2000s) surveys of California vegetation through comparisons of tree abundance and size …

Phenological shifts conserve thermal niches in North American birds and reshape expectations for climate-driven range shifts
JB Socolar, PN Epanchin… - Proceedings of the …, 2017 - National Acad Sciences
Species respond to climate change in two dominant ways: range shifts in latitude or
elevation and phenological shifts of life-history events. Range shifts are widely viewed as …
