Braking effect of climate and topography on global change-induced upslope forest expansion
Alatalo, Juha M.; Ferrarini, Alessandro ( Springer New York LLC , 2017 , Article)Forests are expected to expand into alpine areas due to global climate change. It has recently been shown that temperature alone cannot realistically explain this process and that upslope tree advance in a warmer scenario ... -
Climate change will seriously impact bird species dwelling above the treeline: A prospective study for the Italian Alps
Ferrarini, Alessandro; Alatalo, Juha M.; Gustin, Marco ( Elsevier B.V. , 2017 , Article)High mountain systems are predicted to be especially vulnerable to the impact of climate change, with the climatically-constrained tree limit rapidly shifted upslope. In turn, the impact of upward treeline migration on ... -
Exploring the compass of potential changes induced by climate warming in plant communities
Ferrarini, Alessandro; Alatalo, Juha M.; Gervasoni, David; Foggi, Bruno ( Elsevier B.V. , 2017 , Article)New models are required to predict the impacts of future climate change on biodiversity. A move must be made away from individual models of single species toward approaches with synergistically interacting species. The ... -
A new method for broad-scale modeling and projection of plant assemblages under climatic, biotic, and environmental cofiltering.
Ferrarini, Alessandro; Bai, Yang; Dai, Junhu; Alatalo, Juha M. ( Wiley , 2021 , Article)There is increasing interest in broad-scale analysis, modeling, and prediction of the distribution and composition of plant species assemblages under climatic, environmental, and biotic filtering, particularly for conservation ... -
Planning for assisted colonization of plants in a warming world
Ferrarini, Alessandro; Selvaggi, Alberto; Abeli, Thomas; Alatalo, Juha M.; Orsenigo, Simone; Gentili, Rodolfo; Rossi, Graziano... more authors ... less authors ( Nature Publishing Group , 2016 , Article)Assisted colonization is one way of facilitating range shifts for species that are restricted in their ability to move in response to climate change. Here we conceptualize and apply a new decision framework for modelling ... -
Redefining the climate niche of plant species: A novel approach for realistic predictions of species distribution under climate change
Ferrarini, Alessandro; Dai, Junhu; Bai, Yang; Alatalo, Juha M. ( Elsevier , 2019 , Article)Climate change is increasingly affecting plant species distributions, in ways that need to be predicted. Here, in a novel prediction approach, we developed the relevant climate niche (RCN) of plants, based on thorough ...
