TL;DR: As all tree species will be suffering lags, interspecific competition may weaken, facilitating persistence under suboptimal conditions, and species with small populations, fragmented ranges, low fecundity, or suffering declines due to introduced insects or diseases should be candidates for facilitated migration.

TL;DR: A software package that facilitates extracting climate data for specific locations from large datasets and provides a user-friendly interface suitable for resource managers and decision makers as well as scientists is developed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a software package, ClimateWNA, is proposed to provide comprehensive historical climate data and climate change projections at a scale suitable for, and readily accessible to, researchers and resource managers.

TL;DR: A new ecosystem-based climate envelope modeling approach was applied to assess potential climate change impacts on forest communities and tree species, and local predictions of changes to tree species frequencies were generated as a basis for systematic surveys of biological response to climate change.

TL;DR: In this article, a methodology to generate scalefree climate data through the combination of interpolation techniques and elevation adjustments is presented, which is applied to monthly temperature and precipitation normals for 1961-90 produced by the Parameter-elevation Regressions on Independent Slopes Model (PRISM) for British Columbia, Yukon Territories, the Alaska Panhandle, and parts of Alberta and the United States.
