“…The high values of the seven metrics used to evaluate our regional and global models (including AUC, sensitivity, specificity and TSS; Table S3 ), suggested acceptable model performances. Lower model performances have been reported for different widespread species and similar sets of environmental variables and model metrics ( Penteriani et al, 2019 ; López-Sánchez et al, 2021 ), or only climate variables and AUC ( Dyderski et al, 2018 ). Nevertheless, similar results (only for AUC) have been obtained for Picea chihuahuana Martínez ( Pinedo-Alvarez et al, 2019 ), another rare Mexican spruce.…”

“…Forty two environmental variables of different classes: climate, topography, soil and geology ( e.g . succesfully used by Penteriani et al, 2019 ; Barrio-Anta et al, 2020 ; López-Sánchez et al, 2021 ) were considered possible predictors of the distribution of P. martinezii and P. mexicana . Gridded data of 19 climatic variables (1961–1990 reference period) were retrieved at 30 arc-second resolution from WorldClim dataset ( Hijmans et al, 2005 , available at URL: ); data of 14 soil variables were obtained from the SoilGrids250m at 250 m × 250 m resolution (available at URL: ), a repository of the spatial distribution of soil properties across the globe ( Hengl et al, 2017 ).…”

“…Nevertheless, studies on the potential value of assisted migration for REPS, considering the most complete sets of environmental variables of recognized influence on species distributions ( e.g . Penteriani et al, 2019 ; Barrio-Anta et al, 2020 ; López-Sánchez et al, 2021 ), or global habitat searches using climatic variables, are scarce.…”

Background In the projected climate change scenarios, assisted migration might play an important role in the ex situ conservation of the threatened plant species, by translocate them to similar suitable habitats outside their native distributions. However, it is unclear if such habitats will be available for the Rare Endemic Plant Species (REPS), because of their very restricted habitats. The aims of this study were to perform a population size assessment for the REPS Picea martinezii Patterson and Picea mexicana Martínez, and to evaluate the potential species distributions and their possibilities for assisted migration inside México and worldwide. Methods We performed demographic censuses, field surveys in search for new stands, and developed distribution models for Last Glacial Maximum (22,000 years ago), Middle Holocene (6,000 years ago), current (1961–1990) and future (2050 and 2070) periods, for the whole Mexican territory (considering climatic, soil, geologic and topographic variables) and for all global land areas (based only on climate). Results Our censuses showed populations of 89,266 and 39,059 individuals for P. martinezii and P. mexicana, respectively, including known populations and new stands. Projections for México indicated somewhat larger suitable areas in the past, now restricted to the known populations and new stands, where they will disappear by 2050 in a pessimistic climatic scenario, and scarce marginal areas (p = 0.5–0.79) remaining only for P. martinezii by 2070. Worldwide projections (based only on climate variables) revealed few marginal areas in 2050 only in México for P. martinezii, and several large areas (p ≥ 0.5) for P. mexicana around the world (all outside México), especially on the Himalayas in India and the Chungyang mountains in Taiwan with highly suitable (p ≥ 0.8) climate habitats in current and future (2050) conditions. However, those suitable areas are currently inhabited by other endemic spruces: Picea smithiana (Wall.) Boiss and Picea morrisonicola Hayata, respectively. Conclusions Assisted migration would only be an option for P. martinezii on scarce marginal sites in México, and the possibilities for P. mexicana would be continental and transcontinental translocations. This rises two possible issues for future ex situ conservation programs: the first is related to whether or not consider assisted migration to marginal sites which do not cover the main habitat requirements for the species; the second is related to which species (the local or the foreign) should be prioritized for conservation when suitable habitat is found elsewhere but is inhabited by other endemic species. This highlights the necessity to discuss new policies, guidelines and mechanisms of international cooperation to deal with the expected high species extinction rates, linked to projected climate change.

“…Eucalyptus globulus is the most economically important species in the temperate regions of the world, and nowadays, it is the backbone of the hardwood forest industries in Australia, Chile, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Portugal, Spain, Uruguay, and China [1][2][3]. Eucalyptus globulus is the most cultivated tree native to Australia and is commonly called Tasmanian blue gum [4][5][6][7]. Having great economic importance reported that in 2004 more than 2.5 million hectares of E.globulus were cultivated worldwide [3].…”

“…Having great economic importance reported that in 2004 more than 2.5 million hectares of E.globulus were cultivated worldwide [3]. The study conducted in northern Spain shows that the area occupied by E.globulus has increased by 4.6 times greater than 50 years before [4]. It has been suggested that the reason for the widespread subspecies globulus may have been the bitterness of its juvenile leaves and seldom eat by animals where fencing does not need [8].…”

Eucalyptus globulus is the most economically important and the most commonly cultivated exotic tree species in the Chelia District. However, we have limited knowledge on quantitative estimation of Eucalyptus contribution to the communities' livelihoods, and perception of factors currently drives its expansion. The main objectives of the present research were to measure the quantitative economic contribution of Eucalyptus to the communities' livelihoods and to investigate factors that currently contribute to its expansion. We used a mixed-method approach, combining both quantitative and qualitative techniques. Data were collected using semi-structured survey questionnaires. A multiple linear regression model was used. The weighted mean score was used to analyze the perceptions of factors that currently contribute to Eucalyptus expansion. We surveyed the contribution of E.globulus to local communities; perception of factors that contributes to its expansion; the reason why respondents preferred Eucalyptus to other tree species, and respondents' points of view on the current and future potential Eucalyptus expansion. Our results show that Eucalyptus income makes up 87% of the total households' income, while agricultural income makes up 13%. The results also reveal that income source is the most factor that currently contributes to Eucalyptus expansion. Our analysis explained that the reason why respondents preferred Eucalyptus to other tree species are high-income return, suitable for building and firewood, short-rotation, and requires less management. We have confirmed that most of the livelihood's income was generated from Eucalyptus income, and local communities are highly dependent on Eucalyptus activity. The findings of our research have important implications for managers and policymakers.
