Historical ecology draws on a broad range of information sources and methods to provide insight into ecological social change, especially over the past ~12,000 years. While its results are often relevant conservation restoration, insights from diverse disciplines, environments, geographies have frequently remained siloed or underrepresented, restricting their full potential. Here, we synthesize knowledge fields history, anthropology, paleontology, scholars practitioners working in marine, freshwater, terrestrial environments six continents various archipelagoes identify global research priorities for historical influence conservation. Specifically, address questions within four key priority areas: (i) concepts, (ii) co-production community engagement, (iii) policy management, (iv) climate change impacts. This work highlights ways that has developed matured use novel sources, efforts move beyond extractive practices toward co-production, potential addressing management challenges, including change. Together, demonstrate this field brought together researchers across connected academics practitioners, engaged communities create apply challenges our shared future.

Plants will experience considerable changes in climate within their geographic ranges over the next several decades. They may respond by exhibiting niche flexibility and adapting to changing climates. Alternatively, plant taxa exhibit fidelity, shifting distributions track preferred Here, we examine responses of climates past 18,000 y evaluate extent which 16 dominant North America have exhibited fidelity. We find that 75% consistently fidelity y, even during times most extreme change. Of four do not three—elm ( Ulmus ), beech Fagus ash Fraxinus )—experience a long-term shift realized climatic between early Holocene present day. Plant migrate longer distances better maintain consistent niches across transition periods Today, communities with highest are found regions high topographic microclimate heterogeneity expected resilience, allowing plants locally adjust some amount However, once change buffering region is exceeded, these need broader landscapes but be challenged so because low habitat connectivity regions.

For tropical forests to survive anthropogenic global warming, trees will need avoid rising temperatures through range shifts and “species migrations” or tolerate the newly emerging conditions adaptation and/or acclimation. In this literature review, we synthesize available knowledge show that although many tree species are shifting their distributions higher, cooler elevations, rates of these migrations too slow offset ongoing changes in temperatures, especially lowland rainforests where thermal gradients shallow nonexistent. We also rapidity severity warming make it unlikely can adapt (with some possible exceptions). argue best hope for becoming “committed extinction” is individual-level Although several new methods being used test acclimation, unfortunately still do not know if acclimate, how acclimation abilities vary between species, what factors may prevent facilitate Until all questions answered, our ability predict fate forests—and services they provide humanity—remains critically impaired.

Abstract Aim Species are largely thought to maintain broadly static niches over time, an assumption underpinning much theoretical ecology including the implementation of ecological models project species' current and future distributions. Here, we assess niche conservatism in odonates Great Britain past six decades by simultaneously quantifying changes species geographic distribution evaluating temporal trends realised climatic niche. Location Britain. Methods Distributional were assessed calculating centres deriving occupancy trends. Changes using a principal component analysis quantify overlap, information on both climate averages extremes. Results We show that dragonflies damselflies displayed distinct responses changing conditions. Dragonflies shifting higher latitudes maintained, average, greater consistency their niches, providing evidence for tracking. Greater flexibility increased other hand, more common damselflies. Main Conclusions unveil divergence national scale, casting doubt relevance predicting impacts change this, potentially other, groups species. More broadly, our results call multi‐species comparisons spatial distributions during recent periods conditions improve ability contrast vulnerability risk ongoing crisis.

Eucalyptus has become one of the most widely planted species in tropical and subtropical regions China, with important economic, ecological, social values. However, it is currently unclear how climate change will affect different species. Therefore, urgent to investigate potential distribution dynamics under current future scenarios. In this study, we analyzed patterns three main ( grandis , urophylla tereticornis ) climatic conditions (2041-2060 2061-2080) using optimized MaxEnt model, which integrates a variety environmental data including climate, topography, soil, human influence. We also identified factors affecting distributions The model indicated that E. exhibited heightened sensitivity mean temperature coldest quarter (7.0-20.0 °C) annual (11.9-24.2 °C), whereas displayed precipitation warmest (272-1694 mm) (812-2624 mm). Conversely, demonstrated (12.7-24.5 seasonality (63.8-598.9). Under had widest suitable area (124.91 × 10 4 km²), followed by (124.89 km²) (119.81 km²). scenarios, ranges continue expand.

Abstract Extreme heat events are becoming increasingly common, and the short‐term acclimation of photosynthesis will have a large impact on plant performance. Trees in lowland tropical forests, which hypothesized to limited abilities tolerate rising temperatures, may need rely their more plastic traits, like photosynthetic thermal tolerance, persist face variable climates. Here, we investigated seasonal tolerances species moist Amazon. Specifically, measured six common woody Amazonian at beginning end dry season determine species' acclimate intra‐annual changes climate. In addition, used natural gradient present our research site test individual plants maximum air temperatures not currently observed elsewhere Amazon (up ~43°C). Between seasons, there were significant overall increases three (i.e. higher hotter season), suggesting that leaf megathermy is prominent these species. Also, acclimated microsite‐level differences temperature maxima, closer fidelity between homeothermy) for Our results show some from can over short time‐scales, although likely insufficient overcome stress during extreme events. Some therefore be sensitive heatwaves than others, could survival composition forests into future. Read free Plain Language Summary this article Journal blog.
