[Excerpt: Key messages] [::] Observed climate change has had many impacts on terrestrial ecosystems, such as changes in soil conditions, advances in phenological stages, altitudinal and latitudinal migration of plant and animal species (generally northwards and upwards), and changes in species interactions and species composition in communities, including local extinctions. [::] The relative importance of climate change as a major driver of biodiversity and ecosystem change is projected to increase further in the future. In addition to climate change, human efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change can both positively and negatively affect biodiversity and other ecosystem services. [::] In Europe, 14 % of habitats and 13 % of species of interest have been assessed to already be under pressure because of climate change. The number of habitats threatened by climate change is projected to more than double in the near future. Many species in the Natura 2000 network are projected to lose suitable climate niches. [::] Modelled and projected changes in soil moisture, such as significant decreases in the Mediterranean region and increases in parts of northern Europe, are having a direct effect on terrestrial ecosystems. [::] Forest ecosystems and their services are affected by range shifts of tree species towards higher altitudes and latitudes, by increases in forest fire risk, in particular in southern Europe, and by an increased incidence of forest insect pests. Coldadapted coniferous tree species are projected to lose large fractions of their ranges to broadleaf species. In general, forest growth is projected to decrease in southern Europe to increase in northern Europe, but with substantial regional variation. [::] Climate change is likely to exacerbate the problem of invasive species in Europe. [] [...]
