Table 7 Importance of climate change effects on the predicted probabilities of mortality of the 12 species. The base mortality rate corresponds to an average predicted value where all non-climate change-related variables were set to their average value on all the trees of the considered species. The 6 columns located in the right part of the table indicate how predicted probabilities of tree mortality in %.5 years−1 vary depending on the intensity of climate change. One value per plot where the species is present is calculated.

From: Climate change-induced background tree mortality is exacerbated towards the warm limits of the species ranges
