Cover Story: Climate change is causing rapid shifts in the environmental conditions experienced by plants, but we lack generalizable frameworks to predict the consequences for different species. We present a trade-off-based framework for understanding whether plants may undergo range shifts, defining species’ capacity for range shifts based on their colonization ability and ability to express a phenotype suited to their environment, which are influenced by ecological strategies and functional trade-offs. These processes affect species’ small-scale habitat ranges and determine if species track climate-driven changes in abiotic/biotic conditions and undergo geographic range shifts. Our framework provides a conceptual basis for plant species distribution models, aiding in the prediction of species’ ranges shifts due to climate change. View this paper
