A strong influence of climate on species’ range is often assumed, and forms the basis for projecting many future range shifts with changing climate. Particularly at poleward latitudinal or elevational edges, abiotic conditions are thought to play a major role in limiting distributions. We estimated the roles of climate and landscape features in shaping habitat at the northern distributional edge of a critically threatened mountain tree species.

纬度极限不是寒冷的极限：寒冷的温度不会限制北边濒临灭绝的树种

人们通常认为气候对物种范围有很强的影响，并为预测未来随着气候变化而发生的许多范围变化奠定了基础。特别是在极地纬度或海拔边缘，非生物条件被认为在限制分布中起主要作用。我们估计了气候和景观特征在塑造受到严重威胁的山地树种北部分布边缘的栖息地中的作用。
