Aim
The population processes that drive tree species distribution are still widely debated. We test the hypotheses that metapopulation processes of colonization and extinction are linked to predictions of species distribution models.
Location
Europe: Spain, France, Germany, Finland and Sweden.
Taxon
Angiosperms and Gymnosperms.
Methods
For 17 tree species analysed, we fitted species distribution...
Aim Forest communities in the European Central Alps are highly sensitive to climatic change. Palaeobotanical studies have demonstrated that forests rapidly expanded upslope during Holocene warm intervals and contracted when temperatures fell. However, temperature alone cannot account for important changes in tree species abundance. For example, population expansion by Norway spruce (Picea abies),...
