20.500.12556/RUL-164283 Unexpected westward range shifts in European forest plants link to nitrogen deposition Climate change is commonly assumed to induce species’ range shifts toward the poles. Yet, other environmental changes may affect the geographical distribution of species in unexpected ways. Here, we quantify multidecadal shifts in the distribution of European forest plants and link these shifts to key drivers of forest biodiversity change: climate change, atmospheric deposition (nitrogen and sulfur), and forest canopy dynamics. Surprisingly, westward distribution shifts were 2.6 times more likely than northward ones. Not climate change, but nitrogen-mediated colonization events, possibly facilitated by the recovery from past acidifying deposition, best explain westward movements. Biodiversity redistribution patterns appear complex and are more likely driven by the interplay among several environmental changes than due to the exclusive effects of climate change alone. forest plants geographical distribution range shifts environmental changes nitrogen deposition gozdne rastline geografska porazdelitev premik območja okoljske spremembe odlaganje dušika true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2024-10-18 13:18:35 2024-10-18 13:18:39 2025-01-09 12:05:21 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Str. 193-198 issue 6718 Vol. 386 10. oct 2024 0000-00-00 PostprintKoncna Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2024-10-10 630*18:581.9(4) 1095-9203 10.1126/science.ado0878 211179779 RAZ_Sanczuk_Pieter_2024.pdf RAZ_Sanczuk_Pieter_2024.pdf 1 BF3EC718D4C834BFF4C35FF2EC2C5E10 26b002e0a47871247b01ed2bb5bd537e0c072bbd6ca0fbece1ab2ccc5938c92f b3ab2150-8d42-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=194583 https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ado0878 1 78ee2692-8d42-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=194582 Biotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
