Abstract: [Modelling study using Lobaria pulmonaria and Sphaerophorus globosus in Scotland. "Thus, for regions in which climate change may impact a species' threshold of occurrence, it is possible to identify habitat conditions which would maximise the likelihood of occupancy (and continued persistence), under changed and sub-optimal climatic conditions. That is, it becomes possible to manage habitat at a species' advancing or retreating range-edge, to maximise opportunities for colonisation, establishment and persistence."]
