This appears to be driven largely by high sensitivity to climate warming. • Mechanistic models project small or moderate losses of favorable climate in the plains and increased range in mountains. Most models project increased productivity in the Northern plains and mountains (not shown). Rising CO2 plays a key role in counteracting negative effects of climate change. • Recent observations and experiments tend to side with mechanistic models, but “hidden” or long-term effects (e.g., competition, disease, regeneration) might explain current and future distributions as simulated by bioclimatic models Laboratoire d’Ecologie, Systématique et Evolution ACC – Paris, Sept 2010 Pinus sylvestris Scots pine Pin sylvestre Current distribution simulations and model evaluation Pinus sylvestris TSS = 0.48 BIOMOD TSS = 0.26 Current distribution (IFN) PHENOFIT TSS = 0.03 TSS = 0.30 Nancy NBM TSS = 0.25 STASH TSS = 0.26 LPJ TSS = 0.07 0 : N o fo re s t 1: A bsence 2 : P re s e n c e Needleleaf Evergreen ORCHIDEE IBIS Pinus sylvestris NE Vosges NW Projections for 2050 -0.310 -0.678 -0.922 82 % 41 % Alsace 46 % 55 % 33 % 35 % -0.661 V saône -0.708 Brittany Jura 49 % Y axis -0.943 (Sum TS2-SumTS1) SumTS1 -0.098 72 % SW 16 % -0.082 -0.932 Average models 38 % Pyrenees 0: No forest 1: Absence 2: Presence Alps 68 % -0.247 Center -0.555 Pinus sylvestris 1 All models are highly sensitve to warming BIOMOD Vosges (TS2-TS1)/TS1 Tests of mechanisms T°C TS1 Current Temp 2050 Temp Vosges NE (TS2-TS1)/TS1 PHENOFIT NE 3 Rising CO2 attenuates climate change impacts in mechanistic models LPJ Vosges (TS2-TS1)/TS1 All models are relatively insensitive to reductions in precipitation LPJ (TS2-TS1)/TS1 2 PHENOFIT NE 2050 Current Rainfall Rainfall NE Vosges 2050 CO2 Current CO2 Laboratoire d’Ecologie, Systématique et Evolution ACC – Paris, Sept 2010 Scots Pine: Take home messages • Current distributions are difficult to simulate, in part due to use of Scots pine outside its natural range • All models project substantial loss of favorable climate in the plains of France by 2050 for this A1b climate scenario and “average” soils.

Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga sp.) plantation Coppice poplar plantation Laboratoire d’Ecologie, Systématique et Evolution ACC – Paris, Sept 2010 Plant species or genotypes that are more tolerant of “predicted” changes in climate • Introduce new drought and heat tolerant species and genotypes, i.e., introduced species and possibly GM trees. • Use transplants exploiting the natural differences in genotypes across species range Use provenance trials and other information to identify ‘pre-adapted’ genotypes, e.g., lodgepole pine in W.
