Flood exposure for vertebrates in China's terrestrial priority areas for biodiversity conservation: Identifying internal refugia

2016-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Extreme weather events are likely to increase in the coming decades which may have severe consequences on biodiversity. As conservation funding is limited, identifying priority areas for conservation of species prone to climatic impacts may improve the benefit of conservation investments. As part of its Biodiversity Action Plan, China is carrying out an initiative to evaluate new threats from climatic impacts by 2...
