Fig. 1. Predicted impact of future climate change for the potential distribution of European bryophytes.
The maps represent the distribution of 1 km2 pixels predicted to become climatically suitable and unsuitable in 2050 for 10 representative bryophyte species of each of the four main biogeographic elements in Europe (Mediterranean, Atlantic, wide-temperate and Arctic-Alpine) using ensemble of climatic suitability models with the MPI-ESM-LR Global Circulation Model under scenario RCP8.5 (see Supplementary Fig. 1 for scenario RCP4.5 and Supplementary Figs. 2 and 3 for the two RCPs with the HadGem2-ES Global Circulation Model). Colours represent the proportion of species, computed over 10 species per biogeographical elements (individual maps are available from Figshare, DOI: 10.6084/m9.figshare.8289698), for which a pixel becomes suitable (blue) and unsuitable (red). Numbers indicate the average (±S.D.) percentage of the predicted increase (number of pixels that become suitable in 2050) and loss (number of pixels that become unsuitable in 2050), respectively, of suitable area in 2050 as compared to the extent number of suitable pixels.
