Several environmental factors can influence species distributions in these complex ecosystems. It is therefore important to distinguish the effects of natural factors from the anthropogenic ones (e.g., environmental pollution, climate change, and forest management) by adopting reliable models able to predict future scenarios of species distribution. In the last 20 years, the use of statistical tools, such as Species Distribution Models (SDM) or Ecological Niche Models (ENM), allowed researchers to make great strides in the subject, with hundreds of scientific research works in this field. This book collects several research articles where these methodological approaches are the starting point to deepen the knowledge in many timely and emerging topics in forest ecosystems around the world, from Eurasia to America.Biology, life sciencesbicsscEcological science, the BiospherebicsscResearch & information: generalbicsscamphibianaridizationassociation groupbeta diversitybiodiversitybiodiversity conservationbiomod2CarabidaeCharcoalchlorophyll fluorescenceclimate changeclimatic changeconservationdispersalDominant speciesecological modellingEcological Niche Modelecological sustainabilityecological-phytocoenotic classificationendangeredephemeral wetlandepiphytic macrolichensEucalyptusEuscaphis japonicafine-filter approachforest formationForest Historyforest managementforested wetlandfunctional traitsfuture spatial projectionGARPgeographical information systemsgrowth rateshabitathabitat qualityhabitat restorationhabitat suitability modelhumid forestindicator speciesLandsatLast Glacial MaximummacroinvertebrateMaxentMaxEntMediterranean areamixed forestsMoscow Regionn/aold-growthPaleoecologyPermutation testPhylogenetic distancePhylogenetic relationshipsPinus mugo/uncinataPinus nigraPinus sylvestrispotential suitable habitatpressure-state-response modelprotected areasquadrat countsQuantitative distributionQuercus pubescensRelative groupsSDMtoolboxsexual reproductionsilviculturesoil moisturespatial modelingspecies count dataspecies distributionspecies distribution modelsspecies geographic distribution modelingstand structuretree diameterstree distribution patternsvariation partitioningvegetative propaguleszooplanktonBiology, life sciencesEcological science, the BiosphereResearch & information: generalBrunialti Giorgioedt1289208Frati LuisaedtBrunialti GiorgioothFrati LuisaothBOOK9910557310403321Modeling of Species Distribution and Biodiversity in Forests3021087UNINA
