Description
Climate change triggers long-term changes in temperature and precipitation patterns, among others, but also increases the likelihood of anomalies, like extreme heat, cold, or drought. The common tree species growing in Germany as well as potential candidate species from other regions planted in the iDiv research platform ARBOfun differ in their native distributions and thus in the climatic conditions they experienced in the past. Combining distribution data from GBIF, the World Catalogue of Vascular Plants, World Plants, and global temperature and climatic water balance time series from ERA5, we show for which of the most relevant current and future tree species in Germany climatic extremes translate to unprecedented environmental conditions, potentially affecting short- and long-term growth and survival.
