Abstract Black locust ( Robinia pseudoacacia L.), a species native to the eastern North America, was introduced Europe probably in 1601 and currently extends over 2.3 × 10 6 ha. It has become naturalized all sub-Mediterranean temperate regions rivaling Populus spp. as second most planted broadleaved tree worldwide after Eucalyptus This wide-spreading planting is because black an important multipurpose species, producing wood, fodder, source of honey well bio-oil biomass. also for carbon sequestration, soil stabilization re-vegetation landfills, mining areas wastelands, biotherapy landscaping. In Europe, drought tolerant so grows with annual precipitation low 500–550 mm. tolerates dry, nutrient poor soils but best on deep, nutrient-rich, well-drained soils. fast-growing height, diameter volume growth peak before age 20. mostly regenerates vegetatively by root suckers under simple coppice system, which considered cost-effective management system. regenerates, less frequently, stool sprouts. Its early silviculture production forests includes release cutting promote rather than shoots, cleaning-respacing remove low-quality stems, reduce number shoots per stool, adjust spacing between suckers. addition, early, moderate frequent thinning limited pruning are carried out focusing crop trees.

Climate change may be a major threat to biodiversity in the next 100 years. Although there has been important work on mechanisms of decline some species, it generally remains unclear which changes climate actually cause extinctions, and how many species will likely lost. Here, we identify specific that are associated with widespread local extinctions have already occurred. We then use this information predict extent future loss processes forestall extinction. used data from surveys 538 plant animal over time, 44% had at one or more sites. found locations larger faster hottest yearly temperatures than those without. Surprisingly, sites significantly smaller mean annual temperatures, despite as proxies for overall change. Based their past rates dispersal, estimate 57–70% these not disperse quickly enough avoid However, show niche shifts appear far avoiding extinction although most studies focus only dispersal. Specifically, considering both dispersal shifts, project 16–30% go extinct by 2070. Overall, our results help climatic survive.

Abstract While there is a clear demand for scenarios that provide alternative states in biodiversity with respect to future emissions, thorough analysis and communication of the associated uncertainties still missing. Here, we modelled global distribution ~11,500 amphibian, bird mammal species project their climatic suitability into time horizon 2050 2070, while varying input data used. By this, explore originating from selecting models (SDMs), dispersal strategies, circulation (GCMs), representative concentration pathways (RCPs). We demonstrate overwhelming influence SDMs RCPs on projections, followed by strategies GCMs. The relative importance each component varies space but also selected sensitivity metrics species’ range size. Overall, this means using multiple SDMs, RCPs, assumptions GCMs necessity any scenario assessment, explicitly report uncertainties.

Climate change can lead to the simultaneous occurrence of extreme droughts and heat waves increasing frequency compound events with unknown impacts on forests. Here we use two independent datasets, a compiled database tree drought mortality ICP-Forest level I plots, study hot summers, elevated vapour pressure deficit (VPD), dry years forest defoliation across Europe. We focused background rates, studied their co-occurrence summers years.

As a nature-based and cost-effective solution, forestation plays crucial role in combating global warming, biodiversity collapse, environmental degradation, well-being. Although China is acknowledged as leader of has achieved considerable overall success improvements through mega-forestation programs, many negative effects have also emerged at local scales due to the planting maladapted tree species. To better help achieve carbon neutrality new vision an ecological civilization, committed further increase forestation. However, where lands such efforts should really be located not so well understood yet agreed upon, especially face rapid climate change. Based on ensemble-learning machine, we predicted spatial habitats (ecological niche) forest, grassland, shrubland, desert under present future conditions based natural climax vegetation distribution across China. We show that potential are mainly eastern China, which east Hu Line (also known Heihe-Tengchong Line). Under change, forests will shift substantially latitudinal, longitudinal, elevational distribution. Potential by 33.1 million hectares 2070s, conversions shrub grassland along Line. Our prediction map indicates rehabilitation universal optimal restoration strategy areas west This analysis consistent with much observed evidence failures recent climate-change-induced forest range shifts. results provide overview importance adaptive science-based planning management.

Citizen science (CS) currently refers to the participation of non-scientist volunteers in any discipline conventional scientific research. Over last two decades, nature-based CS has flourished due innovative technology, novel devices, and widespread digital platforms used collect classify species occurrence data. For scientists, offers a low-cost approach collecting information at large spatial scales that otherwise would be prohibitively expensive. We examined trends gaps linked use as source data for distribution models (SDMs), order propose guidelines highlight solutions. conducted quantitative literature review 207 peer-reviewed articles measure how representation different taxa, regions, types have changed SDM publications since 2010s. Our shows number papers using SDMs increased approximately double rate overall papers. However, disparities taxonomic geographic coverage remain studies CS. Western Europe North America were regions with most (73%). Papers on birds (49%) mammals (19.3%) outnumbered other taxa. Among invertebrates, flying insects including Lepidoptera, Odonata Hymenoptera received attention. Discrepancies between research interest availability especially important amphibians, reptiles fishes. Compared animal plants rare. Although aims scope are diverse, conservation remained central theme present examples recommendations motivate further research, such combining multiple sources promoting local traditional knowledge. hope our findings will strengthen citizen-researchers partnerships better inform SDMs, less-studied taxa regions. Researchers stand benefit from quantity available improve global predictions distributions.
