Ecosystems will find themselves subject to climates far removed from those they evolved in, endangering many species.
The shorter growing season and reduced sunshine hours at the DK site compared to climates in the natural range of kauri may also contribute.
Results for biome types indicated largely a shift from climates suitable for alpine and subalpine conifer to climates suitable for desert scrub and grassland types.
The established relationships are then transferred to climates driven by 1× and 2 × CO2 scenarios using outputs from the Canadian second-generation coupled global climate model.
Eucalyptus camaldulensis has been found to be most suited to climates with mean annual air temperatures ranging from 18 − 28°C for the northern province and 13 − 22°C for the southern provenance.
However, the results of Russell et al. (2014) correspond to climates warmer than Finland and tree sizes smaller than trees that die in mature stands of the southern part of boreal forest.
