Reducing uncertainty in the impact of climate on biodiversity

University College London
Department of Earth Sciences
Background. Species distribution models (SDMs) aim to constrain the response and distribution of organisms to climate change. However, these models are built on ecological monitoring records spanning decades rather than the hundreds of thousands of years and broader climatic landscapes that species have persisted in.
