]]> By: Species are running out of suitable climate space « Institute of Hazard, Risk and Resilience Blog http://ihrrblog.org/2010/05/04/tracking-future-movements-of-plant-species-using-climate-models/#comment-589 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 21:22:51 +0000 http://ihrr.wordpress.com/?p=60#comment-589 [...] Mapping changing climate space can aid countries throughout the world in conservation planning as the survival of species is dependent upon the existence of suitable climates.  But while mapping changes in climate space is important for conservation, there are also caveats to climate space analyses that need to be considered.  We must understand that climate space research is only as good as the climate data it is based upon.  Also, shifts in climate space should be used with caution when inferring where species will migrate as this depends on their migration and dispersal capacity.  Finally, because species are often able to adapt to new environmental conditions they may be able to endure changing temperatures or occupy an entirely new climate space(s).
