Abstract:35Climate change is redistributing terrestrial and marine biodiversity and altering fundamental ecological 36 interactions. To adequately conserve biodiversity and promote its long-term persistence, protected areas should 37 account for the ecological implications of species' redistribution. Data paucity across many systems means that 38 achieving this goal requires generic metrics that represent likely responses of multiple taxa to climate change. 39Climate velocity is one such metric, reflecting potential sp… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
