Climate Change Effects on The Distribution of Turkish Salix Species

Abstract

Increasing energy demands and necessity to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions are key factors driving the understanding climate change effects on woody plants. Given the pace of climate change, the question is raised whether Salix trees and shrubs as bioenergy crops will be able to adapt to the future environmental conditions in Turkey. We select willows as study species because they are expected to expand their range in Turkey under drier and warmer climatic conditions from high latitude and wet areas. And also, selecting willow shrub and tree samples will provide data for the basic bioenergy research in the long run. Thus, our objective is to determine possible climate change observation area in Turkey according to the expected effects of climate change and possible scenarios on Turkish willows as economically valuable bioenergy crops. Two hundred and fourteen willow individuals were collected from all Turkey. The habitats of Turkish willows are generally from riparian areas and high wetlands. One willow map is created by using the locations of Turkish Salix species from field studies. Following this approach, we aim to evaluate and compare the approaches of latitudinal migration by constructing new possible stations in the suitable habitats due to the results of models. We used MAXENT algorithm to have preliminary predictions on the distribution of the species and its range shifts. This study provides the first results of species distribution modeling results of Turkish Salix species. Selection of the localities was done based on the habitat suitability coefficients which gives a probability ranging from 0 to 1. Results showed that Ilgaz Mountains (Kastamonu) and Artvin and Erzurum province (Eastern Black Sea region) are observed to have available habitats for Turkish Salix species area in terms of bioclimatic suitability.
