Fig. 18.4 Future (2050s) habitat suitability of Nothofagus obliqua. Areas identified as suitable by
at least 15 of 31 future CMIP5 climate model projections. (Modified from Marchelli et al. 2017)
(around 42° S) where the species does not exist currently (Fig. 18.4). Provenance
trials for both species have demonstrated good survival and growth at these latitudes
(Gallo et al. 2000, Chapters 3 and 4), a basic measure of adaptation (Thomas et al.
2014). Therefore, these areas might be considered for translocation from northern
areas that currently hold similar climatic conditions than those predicted for the
future in the south.
