Unknown Future – Shaping Developments

The potential distribution of species in the present and future can be modelled by combining distribution data and data on the requirements and habits of species as well as population size and genomic variability with habitat and climate data. The resilience of biotic communities can also be modelled using trait data. This look into the future allows nature conservation measures to be taken to protect species, but also forecasts on the influence of invasive species and general conclusions on future biodiversity change. The more precise and comprehensive the underlying data, the more reliable the predictions will be.
