Beyond climate control on species range: The importance of soil data to predict distribution of Amazonian plant species (2018, background): “However, either these studies relied on climatic and remote sensing variables, or used proxies, such as coarse-resolution polygon-based maps of ecoregions or soil types, to represent environmental factors other than climate (Feeley et al., 2012; Thomas et al., 2014; Vedel-Sørensen et al., 2013).”
Climate change impacts in Latin America and the Caribbean and their implications for development (2017, background): “2012) and plant species (Feeley et al. 2012; Simon et al. 2013). Overall, most studies project range contractions or inability to keep pace with climate. Across different species, Thomas et al. (2004) project increasing extinction rates with increasing warming”
Global change effects on humid tropical forests: Evidence for biogeochemical and biodiversity shifts at an ecosystem scale (2016, background): “This study found that the future of Amazonian plant biodiversity depended primarily on the ability of species to tolerate or adapt to warming, which had a greater effect on biodiversity than either drying or deforestation [Feeley et al., 2012].”
