This article presents the development of a methodology for analysing the potential impacts of climate change on Slovenian forests in the period between 2081 and 2100. The development of the methodology is based on the use of Maxent software for modelling ecological niches. In this study, 2 common socio-economic pathway scenarios are used, the optimistic SSP1-2.6 and the pessimistic SSP5-8.5. Slovenian forests are divided into 13 forest vegetation types. The statistical results prove that the developed methodology is suitable for analysing the potential impacts of climate change on Slovenian forests in the period between 2081 and 2100.
