Abstract

The current climate change is one of the main threats for the future of the biodiversity. Despite many recent studies have assessed the effects of the ongoing climate change on biodiversity, this information has not been translated into specific management strategies to minimize its impact on species. Here we summarize some of these studies (especially those focused on the Iberian Peninsula) and discuss (including examples) about some fundamental concepts in this field, such as the factors determining species vulnerability under climate change and their potentialities to make concise proposals on conservation strategies.
