Safety margins and adaptive capacity of vegetation to climate change
Scientific Reports, 2019 AbstractVegetation is composed of many individual species whose climatic tolerances can be integrated into spatial analyses of climate change risk. Here, we quantify climate change risk to vegetation at a continental scale by calculating the safety margins for warming and drying (i.e., tolerance to projected change in temperature and precipitation ...
