Impact of end‐of‐century climate change on priority non‐timber forest product species across tropical Africa

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 4, Page 1120-1132, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Plant species providing Non‐Timber Forest Products (NTFP) are economically important across Africa. How this heterogeneous and understudied resource will respond to ongoing climate change remains understudied. Here, we modelled the impact of end‐of‐the‐century climate change on the distribution of 40 NTFP plant species distributed across ...
