Forecasting plant range collapse in a mediterranean hotspot: when dispersal uncertainties matter

Aim The Mediterranean Basin is threatened by climate change, and there is an urgent need for studies to determine the risk of plant range shift and potential extinction. In this study, we simulate potential range shifts of 176 plant species to perform a detailed prognosis of critical range decline a...
