What is it about?
In the present study I analyse the role of species´ habitat associations in explaining climate change vulnerability for two poorly-known but species-rich taxa in boreal forest, saproxylic beetles and fungi, using three IPCC emissions scenarios. I found towards the end of the 21st century an improvement in habitat quality associated with an increase of deadwood, an important resource for species, as a consequence of increased tree growth and a reduction of habitat suitability caused by future increase in timber extraction and decomposition rates.
