Expected Climate Change in Eastern Europe and Species Based GLM-scenarios by 2050: EEBIO Project Summary

V. Prydatko, G.Kolomytsev

Two EEBIO Projects developed species- and species-climate-change envelopes i.e. ‘species profiles + GLM-scenarious’ – in GIS format (ArcMap 9.1), with separation of some key indexes. First of all – for the ‘land use’ pressure, and which was translated to modeling languages i.e. CLUEs, MSA and other – for the most part of GLOBIO Ukraine Region. There were involved 25 species of all groups, and 25 species-climate examples respectively: 50 species altogether. That is pretend to be sufficient for finding linkages between ‘indicator species distribution’ and ‘climate change’ pressures as well as with total MSA-index. The final ULRMC’s outcome contents 54 species, which were modelled in scope of ‘climate change’ (CC) and/or ‘land use change’ (LUC) – see the ingegrated results below – Table 1. It has been done for the area which was about 5-times more, larger contrary to a planned one. New larger project area is an achievement of the EEBIO-3 experience, available data and technical needs – for better model accuracy (expected project area covers only Ukraine region, but actual modelling coverage provided for almost all of the East Europe).
