“…Such information is essential to understand vegetation distribution and structure (e.g. Box, 1996;Ríos-Cornejo, del Río, & Penas, 2012), to perform habitat modeling (Guisan & Zimmerman, 2000) and to analyze vegetation dynamics, subsequently allowing the reconstruction of vegetation series and potential natural vegetation (Blasi, Filibeck, Frondoni, Rosati, & Smiraglia, 2004;Blasi et al, 2012;Farris, Filibeck, Marignani, & Rosati, 2010). Furthermore, bioclimatic models, focusing on climatic thresholds of species distributions, can predict the responses of living organisms to climate change (Huntley, Berry, Cramer, & McDonald, 1995;Pearson & Dawson, 2003;Walther, Berger, & Sykes, 2005) because integrated and biologically relevant combinations are better suited to exploring potential ecosystem response to changing climates than raw climate data (Torregrosa, Taylor, Flint & Flint, 2013).…”

Bioclimatology deals with the interrelation between climate and living organisms, in particular, plants and plant communities, considering the main climate variables that are relevant for species distribution. In this context spatial interpolation of monthly temperature and precipitation data using 203 rain gauges and 68 temperature gauges for Sardinia (Italy) was undertaken. As interpolation technique, we used regression kriging which combines multiple linear regression (MLR) with ordinary kriging of the residuals. MLR procedures include as independent variables: altitude, latitude, longitude, coast distance and a topographic factor of relative elevation. Elevation data were obtained from digital elevation model at 40 m resolution. Following the approach of the Worldwide Bioclimatic Classification System, a bioclimatic diagnosis of the entire territory was derived using map algebra calculations of the bioclimatic indices proposed by Rivas-Martínez et al. [(2011). Worldwide Bioclimatic classification system. Global Geobotany, 1, 1 -638]. Two macrobioclimates (Mediterranean pluviseasonal oceanic and Temperate oceanic), one macrobioclimatic variant (Submediterranean), and four classes of continentality (from weak semihyperoceanic to weak semicontinental), eight thermotypic horizons (from lower thermomediterranean to upper supratemperate) and seven ombrotypic horizons (from lower dry to lower hyperhumid) were identified, resulting in a combination of 43 isobioclimates. The resulting map represents a useful environmental stratum, for regional planning, ecological modeling and biodiversity conservation.

“…Drugi omenjeni vidik škodljivosti, to je porušenje ekosistemskih ravnotežij, je zelo relativen, če jemljemo stanje rastlinskih in živalskih družb kot evolucijsko dinamično -nenehno spreminjajoče se ravnotežje omejenega števila vrst, ki v neki združbi uspejo obstati. To velja za manjše enote rastlinskih združb in tudi za večje geografske enote, kot je na primer tako imenovana klimaksna vegetacija (Box, 1996;Niering, 2005;Rios-Cornejo et al, 2012). Na našem planetu ni nič trajnega in, če se združbe spremenijo zaradi učinka rastlin je to naravno, pa naj si človek še tako domišlja, da je on merilo in regulator naravnih procesov.…”

V obdobju 2000-2022 smo izvajali spremljanje kmetijskih površin in nekaterih ob agrarnih habitatov po vsem ozemlju Slovenije glede pojavnosti tujerodnih invazivnih rastlin. Tujerodne rastline smo evidentirali in podali ocene o velikosti populacij. Hkrati smo izvedli oceno škodljivosti invazivnih rastlin za kmetijsko pridelavo. Obravnavali smo invazivne rastlinske vrste, ki jih pogosto omenjajo v mednarodno priznanih bazah invazivnih v geografskih območjih, ki so nam primerljiva po klimatskih in pedoloških značilnostih in po značilnostih kmetijskih pridelovalnih sistemov. V uvodu je predstavljena metodologija ocenjevanja škodljivosti vrst. Za večino vrst je škodljivost možno precej realno oceniti. Velika neznanka so klimatske spremembe, predvsem minimalne zimske temperature, ki odločajo o dolgoročnem ohranjanju tujerodnih večletnih rastlin. Med njimi je veliko takšnih, ki preraščajo vegetacijo, če uspejo preživeti zimo predstavljajo nevarne invazivke z ekosistemsko škodljivostjo. Pomembno vlogo bo imela tudi dostopnost herbicidov. Če se bo zmanjšala, bodo nekatere nove vrste pridobile na pomenu, ker jih ne bomo mogli učinkovito kemično zatirati. Vse več vrst je ekološko problematičnih tudi zato, ker so vmesni gostitelji novih tujerodnih povzročiteljev bolezni in škodljivcev, ki ogrožajo gojene rastline

The monograph covers the issue of bioclimatology, the intensive development of which in recent decades is due to global climate change. Studies of the relationship between world of the plants and climate have been conducted using original approaches and methods (synphytoindication, ecological strategy of species) developed by the author. This allowed to attract a modern arsenal of mathematic methods and programs, to assess the relationships between ecological factors, to identify the climatic component, to reveal the mechanisms and to predict the development of phytocoenoses. Examples of phenological changes, distribution of alien and displacement of habitats of natural species of flora, possible loss of habitats of rare species, changes in the structure of coenoses of Ukraine as a reaction to climate change are given. It is established that the critical limit of the transition to the risk of habitat loss of rare species is an increase in the average annual temperature by + 2 °С. An increase in the average annual temperature by + 2.5 °С can lead to irreversible changes in more than half of natural habitats, although their rates are slow and changes will occur over a long period of time. In accordance with the specifics of the conditions of existence and distribution of plant communities, four bioclimatic regions of Ukraine have been identified, recommendations for adaptation and counteraction to possible negative consequences have been proposed. The changes in natural zonation as a landscape phenomenon determined by changes in soil chemical properties, soil humidity, and vegetation succession, even with a sharp rise in average temperatures, and acceleration of these processes may take a long time, given ecosystem inertia. However, negative consequences are already being recorded in various aspects: 1) Increase in temperature, increase in number of days with high temperature, increase in probability of droughts in the summer; 2) Fires and windthrows in the forests (increasing the number and scale); 3) Peat fires (increasing frequency and duration), which leads to increased CO2 emissions; 4) Drying of forests due to lower soil moisture; 5) Zoonoses and other diseases (earlier development of insects, microorganisms, increasing the number of reproductive cycles) as dangerous outbreaks of disease; 6) Algal bloom in reservoirs, eutrophication (pollution by organic compounds due to excessive development of algae that die and decay and thus because of lack of oxygen are harmful to fish stocks); 7) Expansion of alien species of plants and animals, including those causing diseases; 8) Reduction of populations of rare species and their extinction, leading to biodiversity loss; 9) Degradation, fragmentation of natural habitats that disrupt their functioning and lead to loss of ecosystems; 10) Degradation of steppe ecosystems due to clogging, afforestation with alien species, translating the processes of humus formation in chernozems to podzolization and loss of humus, reducing the fertility of these soils; 11) Salinization of soils in the south with negative consequences for agriculture and deteriorating living conditions of the population; 12) Yield losses of certain agricultural species, food and economic losses.
