Abstract:
In the face of climate warming, maps of potential tree species distribution can support forest management planning at coarse scales. For evaluating future suitability, conditions at the rear edge, i.e. at the meridional and lower altitudinal limits of species distribution, are of particular importance. Therefore, we present the concept of climatic marginality (distance to the rear edge) as a metric for the susceptibility against climate warming. Using a statistic niche model fitted to observed a...     »
