Potential for Adaptation#
Description#
Definition: species or areas concentrating adaptive or desirable traits under climate change are concentrated. These areas/species should theoretically suffer from a moderate influence of climate change as some studies suggest that a diffuse or punctual influence of climate change could promote the development and the spread inside the population of the desirable traits (Kelly and Griffiths, 2021) on the same principle as vaccination or spill-over or present higher generation rate.
Example of use: Identifying areas that could promote adaptivity inside a MPA network
