Biodiversity Conservation in Canada:
From Theory to Practice



Fig. 9.4. The current distribution of Alberta’s major ecosystem types (left) and bioclimatic envelope model projections of these ecosystems for the 2050s (right) under an intermediate climate change scenario (ECHAM5-A2). The projections reflect changes in the climate envelopes; ecosystem transitions will lag substantially behind. Adapted from Schneider and Bayne 2015.
