MCA biplot depicting the beliefs of forest managers (FM) and conservation managers (CM) on the expected effects of climate change on their operational areas together with their believes on the importance of genetic diversity and perceived level of knowledge. The two dimensions (Dims 1 & 2) explain around 56% of the variance in the responses analyzed. Coordinates of variable categories are shown with black triangles and coordinates of the individuals of each country are marked with colors shown in the index. The analyzed questions were the following: Do you expect changes in your forest area due to climate change? (CC_yes,CC_no, _CC_un); Do you consider the genetic diversity of forest trees to be important? (GD_imp_yes, GD_imp_no, GD_imp_un); Do you consider forest genetic diversity in your management plans? (GD_mgt_yes, GD_mgt_no, GD_mgt_un); and Do you feel you are well-informed about forest genetic diversity? (GD_informed_yes, GD_informed_no, GD_informed_un). The groups were defined by 95% confidence ellipse that plot confidence ellipses around group mean points
