Figure 4. Species distribution maps, showing the projected change in spatial distribution of 6 montane species under predicted climate change scenarios for 2055, representative of the two primary patterns of range change displayed by the modelled species.

Species (A) Anastrepta orcadensis, (B) Herbertus aduncus subsp. hutchinsiae ((i) photograph of H. aduncus subsp. hutchinsiae from Co. Donegal, Ireland; (ii) distribution map) and (C) Scapania ornithopodioides are oceanic bryophytes, and show a potential northward shift in range. Species (D) Salix herbacea ((i) photograph of S. herbacea from Co. Donegal, Ireland; (ii) distribution map), (E) Sedum rosea and (F) Saussurea alpina ((i) photograph of S. alpina from Co. Kerry, Ireland; (ii) distribution map) are of arctic montane distribution, and will potentially contract in range to grid cells of higher altitude. Green grid cells  =  Gain; Blue grid cells  =  Stable; Red grid cells  =  Loss.
