Niche properties and geographical extent as predictors of species sensitivity to climate change. Global Ecology and Biogeography. 14(4): 347-357.
Description
Niche properties are a good indicator of species sensitivities to climate change. Review of temperature effects on niche as indicators of potential species survival. Macrophytes: emissons of CH4. Direct link between coverage of macrophytes and ebullition of CH4.
Case study for Climate Change / Wetlands in cold ecoregions:
| Parameter group | Indicator |
|---|---|
| Abiotic incidators | N-/C-flux, greenhouse gases emission |
| Primary production: plants | Sensitivity depending on plant traits and niche properties |
