Given the rate of projected environmental change for the 21st century, urgent adaptation and
mitigation measures are required to slow down the on-going erosion of biodiversity. Even …

Conifer dominated plantations in central and northern Europe are associated with relatively
low ecological values, and in some cases, may be vulnerable to disturbances caused by …

Forests cover about one-third of Europe's surface and their growth is essential for climate
protection through carbon sequestration and many other economic, environmental, and …

Climate change poses certain threats to the World's forests. That is, tree performance
declines if species-specific, climatic thresholds are surpassed. Prominent climatic changes …

Climate change and habitat fragmentation are considered key pressures on biodiversity. In
this paper we explore the potential synergetic effects between these factors. We argue that …

Concern for climate change has not yet been integrated in protocols for reserve selection.
However if climate changes as projected, there is a possibility that current reserve‐selection …

The rapidly increasing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases may lead to
significant changes in regional and seasonal climate patterns. Such changes can strongly …

This paper (i) reviews temperature/development rate relationships in plants and
poikilothermic invertebrates,(ii) argues that the relationship is often linear over much of the …

Policies to reduce global warming by offering credits for carbon sequestration have
neglected the effects of forest management on biodiversity. I review properties of forest …

Agriculture and forestry will be particularly sensitive to changes in mean climate and climate
variability in the northern and southern regions of Europe. Agriculture may be positively …
