1. Climate change impacts on habitat suitability and demography are often studied, but direct effects on plant dispersal are rarely considered. To address this we analysed climate model projections of future wind speeds and modelled their possible impacts on dispersal and spread of wind‐dispersed plants.

Endemic plant communities on special soils: early victims or hardy survivors of climate change? (2012, background): “For example, wind dynamics and dispersal distances for several wind-dispersed plant species in England are predicted to decrease under climate change, although with a high degree of uncertainty (Bullock et al. 2012).”
RangeShifter: a platform for modelling spatial eco‐evolutionary dynamics and species' responses to environmental changes (2014, methodology): “However, an insufficient representation of dispersal is still a major limitation in many methods dealing with species’ distribution and local connectivity (Baguette & Van Dyck 2007; Bullock et al. 2012; Travis et al. 2013).”
Plant functional connectivity – integrating landscape structure and effective dispersal (2017, unknown): “…change, along with interactions with habitat fragmentation are also expected to affect seed dispersal patterns and consequently the functional connectivity of populations at landscape and larger spatial and temporal scales (Soons, Nathan & Katul 2004; Kuparinen et al. 2009; Bullock et al. 2012).”
A synthesis of empirical plant dispersal kernels (2017, methodology): “2011), and their predictions have been used in models of spatial population dynamics (Skarpaas & Shea 2007; Soons & Bullock 2008; Bullock et al. 2012).”
Additive effects of climate change on connectivity between marine protected areas and larval supply to fished areas (2015, background): “For example, the dispersal patterns of wind-dispersed plants will change as a result of changes in wind patterns (Bullock et al., 2012); the initiation of migration in moths is positively dependent on temperature and will shift temporally following temperature increase (Battisti et al.”
