Assessing the vulnerability of species richness to anthropogenic climate change in a biodiversity hotspot
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared theoretical approaches towards estimating risks of plant species loss to anthropogenic climate change impacts in a biodiversity hotspot, and developed a practical method to detect signs of climate change impact on natural populations.
