L.R. Iverson et al. 2010. Merger of three modeling approaches to assess potential effects of climate change on trees
139
through the fragmented habitats now existing. We intend to use SHIFT as well to perform
‘experiments’ of landscape manipulation and assisted migration to assess these potential
strategies under climate change.
We also show the vast differential in outcomes between a low carbon future (PCMlo) and high
carbon future (HADhi) with respect to habitats for one species (it is the case for most species),
and thus the critical need for a global effort to reduce carbon emissions.
