discussions in June 2017. This work was supported by the German Federal Agency for Nature
Conservation (BfN) with funds from the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature
Conservation, and Nuclear Safety (BMU) through the research project ‘Conferences on Climate
Change and Biodiversity’ (BIOCLIM, project duration from 2014 to 2017, funding code: 3514 80
