Spatiotemporal Distribution Patterns and Conservation Priorities of Gymnosperms With Different Leaf Shapes in China Under Climate Change. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
This study modeled the spatiotemporal distribution patterns of 71 rare gymnosperm species (including varieties) with five different leaf morphologies in China in response to climate change and found that approximately half of the species will experience significant range contractions and migrate to higher altitudes toward the northwest.
