TLDR
This paper showed that under forecasted changes in temperature and precipitation, there could be a decline of economically valuable species, which would lead to a loss in the value of European forest land.Abstract:
European forests are threatened by climate change with impacts on the distribution of tree species. Previous discussions on the consequences of biome shifts have concentrated only on ecological issues; however, research now shows that under forecasted changes in temperature and precipitation there could be a decline of economically valuable species, which would lead to a loss in the value of European forest land.read more

Approaches to the conservation of forest genetic resources in Europe in the context of climate change
TL;DR: In this paper, the impacts of climate change on forests, and especially on their genetic diversity have not been given a proper consideration in these policies, and the EUFORGEN Steering Committee established a working group on climate change and the conservation of forest genetic resources.

Basic concepts and methods of restoration of natural forests in Eastern Europe.
TL;DR: In this article, the concept of natural forests is proposed for coniferous-broadleaf (hemiboreal) and broadleaf zones of Eastern Europe based on the analysis of literature and research experience, and the main goal is to create multiple-aged and polydominant near-natural forest ecosystems with higher resistance to fungal diseases and outbreaks of phytophagous insects.

Market-Level Implications of Regulating Forest Carbon Storage and Albedo for Climate Change Mitigation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the optimal regulation of forest carbon and albedo for climate change mitigation and develop a partial equilibrium market-level model with socially optimal carbon and Albedo pricing and characterize optimal land allocation and harvests.

Introduction: Autochthonous human adaptation to biodiversity change in the Anthropocene.
P. L. Howard,Gretta T. Pecl +1 more
TL;DR: The concept of autochthonous adaptation is introduced to specifically address adaptation to environmental change in local systems, which also considers that local adaptation is conditioned by multi-scalar influences and occurs in synergy or conflict with adaptations of other non-local agents and actors who enable or constrain autochthalar adaptation options.

Assessing the Spatial and Spatio-Temporal Distribution of Forest Species via Bayesian Hierarchical Modeling
TL;DR: This study builds spatial and spatio-temporal models to predict the distribution of four different species present in the Spanish Forest Inventory and shows how accounting for dependencies in space and time affect the relationship between species and environmental variables.

Very high resolution interpolated climate surfaces for global land areas.
Robert J. Hijmans,Susan E. Cameron,Susan E. Cameron,Juan L. Parra,Peter G. Jones,Andy Jarvis +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed interpolated climate surfaces for global land areas (excluding Antarctica) at a spatial resolution of 30 arc s (often referred to as 1-km spatial resolution).

Climate Change 2001: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors set the stage for impact, adaptation, and vulnerability assessment of climate change in the context of sustainable development and equity, and developed and applied scenarios in Climate Change Impact, Adaptation, and Vulnerability Assessment.
Book
The Economics of Climate Change: The Stern Review
TL;DR: The Stern Review as discussed by the authors is an independent, rigourous and comprehensive analysis of the economic aspects of this crucial issue, conducted by Sir Nicholas Stern, Head of the UK Government Economic Service, and a former Chief Economist of the World Bank.

Ecological responses to recent climate change.
Gian-Reto Walther,Eric Post,Peter Convey,Annette Menzel,Camille Parmesan,Trevor J. C. Beebee,Jean-Marc Fromentin,Ove Hoegh-Guldberg,Franz Bairlein +8 more
TL;DR: A review of the ecological impacts of recent climate change exposes a coherent pattern of ecological change across systems, from polar terrestrial to tropical marine environments.
Book
Climate change 2007 : impacts, adaptation and vulnerability
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a cross-chapter case study on climate change and sustainability in natural and managed systems and assess key vulnerabilities and the risk from climate change, and assess adaptation practices, options, constraints and capacity.
