Distribution of broad leaved trees

Postdoc - Jacqueline Souza Lima (2020-2022)

Postdoc - Olle Lindestad (2026)

As a consequence of climate warming, plants and animals are expected to shift their geographical ranges poleward and upward.

In this project Jacqueline studied the range dynamics for seven broadleaved trees having their northern range limit occurring across central Sweden using species distribution models (SDMs) and a transplant experiment. The paper based on SDMs is published (Lima, J.S., & Lenoir, J. & Hylander, K. 2024. Potential migration pathways of broadleaved trees across the receding boreal biome under future climate change. Global Change Biology 30 (8), e17471 (e-view)

Master student Eva Levine re-inventoried the transplants and that study is still to be published.

Currently Olle Lindestad has a postdoc within the project ANAFOR where he continues on Jaquelines work with understanding the distribution of southern forest trees and other species.
