The role of dispersal limitation and reforestation in shaping the distributional shift of a forest herb under climate change Universiteit Gent KU Leuven
Aim: Forest herbs might be unable to track shifts in habitat suitability due to rapid climate change and habitat fragmentation. In this study, we quantified the role of dispersal limitation and the potential mitigating effect of large-scale reforestation on the redistribution of the herbaceous forest plant species Primula elatior under climate change. Location: Europe. Methods: High resolution (100 m) landscape-scale and macro-climatic variables ...
