Detailed knowledge on the climatic tolerances of species is crucial to understand, quantify and predict the impact of climate change on biodiversity and ecosystem functions. However, quantitative data are limited; often, only expert‐based qualitative estimates are available. With the ClimPlant database, we capitalize on the link between species distribution ranges and macroclimate to infer the realized climatic niches of 968 European forest plant species.

ClimPlant：欧洲森林底层的维管植物的气候生态位

关于物种的气候耐受性的详细知识对于理解，量化和预测气候变化对生物多样性和生态系统功能的影响至关重要。但是，定量数据是有限的。通常，只有基于专家的定性估计可用。利用ClimPlant数据库，我们利用物种分布范围与宏观气候之间的联系来推断968种欧洲森林植物物种的已实现气候生态位。
