Assessing the sensitivity of forest plant populations to climate change using microclimate modeling and landscape genomics KU Leuven
Climate change has been identified as one of the most important human-induced global drivers of biodiversity loss. Moreover, climate models predict increases in frequency, intensity, and duration of climate-related disturbances in the next few decades. One of the main consequences of climate change is that temperature isoclines move towards the poles with unprecedented speed, driving species out of parts of their current distribution range. ...
