The role of plant functional trade-offs for biodiversity changes and biome shifts under scenarios of global climatic change
The global geographic distribution of biodiversity and biomes is determined by species-specific physiological tolerances to climatic constraints. Current vegetation models employ empirical bioclimatic relationships to predict present-day vegetation patterns and to forecast biodiversity changes and b...
