Climate change velocity metrics calculated for three climate variables across Finland
<p>This dataset contains files that show the climate change velocity metrics calculated for three climate variables across Finland. The climate velocities were used to study the magnitude of projected climatic changes in a nation-wide Natura 2000 protected area (PA) network (Heikkinen et al., 2020). Using fine-resolution climate data that describes the present-day and future topoclimates and their spatio-temporal variation, the study explored the rate of climatic changes in protected areas on an ecologically relevant, but yet poorly explored scale. The velocities for the three climate variables were developed in the following work, where in-depth description of the different steps in velocity metrics calculation and a number of visualisations of their spatial variation across Finland are provided:</p><p>Risto K.

These nine different velocity surfaces consist of velocity metric values measured for each 50-m grid cell separately for the three different climate variables and in relation to the three different future climate scenarios (RCP2.6, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5). The baseline climate data for the study were the monthly temperature and precipitation data averaged for the period from 1981 to 2010 modelled at a resolution of 50-m, based on which estimates for the annual temperature sum above 5 °C (growing degree days, GDD, °C), the mean January temperature (TJan, °C) and the annual climatic water balance (WAB, the difference between annual precipitation and potential evapotranspiration; mm) were calculated. Corresponding future climate surfaces were produced using an ensemble of 23 global climate models for the years 2070–2099 (Taylor et al. 2012) and the three RCPs. The data for the three climate variables for 1981–2010 and under the three RCPs will be made available in separately via METIS - FMI's Research Data repository service (Aalto et al., in prep.). </p><p>The climate velocity surfaces included in the present data repository were developed using climate-analog approach (Hamann et al. 2015; Batllori et al. 2017; Brito-Morales et al. 2018), whereby velocity metrics for the 50-m grid cells were measured based on the distance between climatically similar cells under the baseline and the future climates, calculated separately for the three climate variables. In Heikkinen et al. (2020), the spatial data for the Natura 2000 protected areas were used to assess their exposure to climate change.

Climate velocity has been typically used to assess the climatic risks for species and their populations, but velocity metrics can also be used to identify protected areas which face overall difficulties in retaining ecological conditions that promote present-day biodiversity. </p><p>Earlier climate velocity assessments have focussed on the domains of the mesoclimate (resolutions of 1–100 km) or macroclimate (>100 km scales), and fine-grained (<100 m) local climatic conditions created by variation in topography ('topoclimate'; Ackerly et al. 2010; 2020) have largely been overlooked (Heikkinen et al. 2020). This omission may lead to biased exposure assessments especially in rugged terrain (Dobrowski et al. 2013; Franklin et al. 2013), as well as a limited ability to detect sites decoupled from the regional climate (Aalto et al. 2017; Lenoir et al. 2017). This study provided the first assessment of the climatic exposure risks across a national PA (Natura 2000) network based on very fine-grained velocities of three established drivers of high latitude biodiversity. </p><p>The produce fine-grain climate velocity measures, 50-m resolution monthly temperature and precipitation data averaged for 1981–2010 were first developed, and based on it, the three bioclimatic variables (growing degree days, mean January temperature and annual climatic water balance) were calculated for the whole study domain. In the next phase, similar future climate surfaces were produced based on data from an ensemble of 23 global climate models, extracted from the CMIP5 archives for the years 2070–2099 and the three RCP scenarios (RCP2.6, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5)26. In the final step, climate velocities for each the 50 x 50 m grid cells were measured using climate-analog velocity method (Hamann et al. 2015) and based on the distance between climatically similar cells under the baseline and future climates.</p><p>The results revealed notable spatial differences in the high velocity areas for the three bioclimatic variables, indicating contrasting exposure risks in protected areas situated in different areas. Moreover, comparisons of the 50-m baseline and future climate surfaces revealed a potential wholesale disappearance of current topoclimatic temperature conditions from almost all the studied PAs by the end of this century.</p><p><strong>Calculation of climate change velocity metrics for the three climate variables</strong></p><p>The overall process of calculation of climate velocities included three main steps. </p><p>(1) In the first step, we developed high-resolution monthly average temperature and precipitation data averaged over the years 1981–2010 and across the study domain at a spatial resolution of 50 × 50 m. This was done by building topoclimatic models based on climate data sourced from 313 meteorological stations (European Climate Assessment and Dataset [ECA&D]) (Klok et al. 2009). Our station network and modelling domain covered the whole of Finland with an additional 100 km buffer. However, it was also extended to cover large parts of northern Sweden and Norway for areas >66.5°N, as well as selected adjacent areas in Russia (for details see Heikkinen et al. 2020). This was done to capture the present-day climate spaces in Finland which are projected to move in the future beyond the country borders but have analogous climate areas in neighbouring areas; this was done to avoid developing a large number of velocity values deemed as infinite or unknown in the data for Finland. </p><p>The 50-m resolution average air temperature data were developed for the study domain using generalized additive modelling (GAM), as implemented in the R-package mgcv version 1.8–7 (R Development Core Team 2011; Wood 2011). In this modelling we utilised variables of geographical location (latitude and longitude, included as an anisotropic interaction), topography (elevation, potential incoming solar radiation, relative elevation) and water cover (sea and lake proximity), and subsequent leave-one-out cross-validation tests to assess model performance (for full process description, see Aalto et al. 2017; Heikkinen et al. 2020). The resulting topoclimate data effectively captured the physiographic effects of solar radiation and cold-air pooling.</p><p>To produce gridded precipitation data, we applied global kriging interpolation to the data from 343 rain gauges from the ECA&D dataset. The interpolation was carried out using information on geographical location, topography (elevation and eastness index) and proximity to the sea and R package gstat. The eastness index was obtained from a sine-transforming aspect raster surface calculated from a 50 m × 50 m digital elevation model to capture the effect of prevailing westerly winds on the accumulated precipitation on windward slopes. The gridding was first run at a resolution of 500 × 500 m, whereafter gridded precipitation values were bilinearly interpolated into the same 50 × 50 m resolution as the air temperature data. </p><p>Next, the three bioclimatic variables ((i) growing degree days (GDD, °C days) indicating the accumulated warmth during the growing season; (ii) mean January air temperature - TJan, °C; (iii) climatic water balance - WAB, mm) were calculated for each 50 x 50 grid cell from the high-resolution gridded 1981–2010 ('baseline') climate data. Earlier research has demonstrated the ecological relevance of these three complementary variables which provide estimations of winter cold, seasonal warmth and moisture availability (Sykes et al. 1996; Luoto et al. 2006; Huntley et al. 2007, 2008). </p><p>Following Carter et al. (1991), GDD was calculated as the effective temperature sum above the base temperature of 5 °C as follows:</p><p><i>GDD</i>5 = <i>∑ni (Ti - Tb), if Ti -Tb > 5</i></p><p>where Ti denotes the mean temperature at day i, Tb represents the base temperature, and n is the length of the summation period. However, because the daily air temperature data was not available, here the GDD was estimated using monthly data as in Araújo & Luoto (2007). The WAB is the difference between the total annual precipitation sum and the potential evapotranspiration (PET), which was estimated from the monthly air temperatures following Skov and Svenning (2004): </p><p><i>PET </i>= 58.93 × <i>Tabove </i>0°<i>C </i>/ 12</p><p>(2) In the second step we developed data on future climates by using the climate projections from the ensemble of 23 global climate models (GCMs), derived from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 archives (Taylor et al. 2012). From these archives, we processed to predicted averaged changes in mean temperature and precipitation with respect to the baseline 1981–2010 for the years 2070–2099, and the three RCP scenarios (cf. Moss et al. 2010). As the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 climate scenario data represent coarse-scale resolution data, we converted it to match our fine-resolution baseline climate data by interpolation. For this, the climate model data depicting the predicted change in mean temperatures and precipitation with respect to the baseline climate were bilinearly interpolated to the 50 × 50 m grid system, and the change predicted by the GCMs was added to the spatially detailed baseline climate data. After this, the bioclimatic variables were recalculated for each RCP scenario to allow the calculation of climate change velocities across the whole country and the Natura 2000 protected areas.</p><p>(3) In the third step we developed climate change velocities for the three bioclimatic variables using the climate-analog approach (Hamann et al. 2015) where velocity is calculated by measuring the distance between present-day locations with certain climatic conditions and their future climate analogues, divided by the number of years between the two points in time. Thus, we calculated climate-analog velocities for the 50-m resolution grid climate data by measuring the distance between climatically similar grid cells for the present and future climates under RCP2.6, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5. </p><p>Prior the actual climate-analog velocity measurements, the climate variable surfaces were converted from continuous values into classified variable surfaces. For this, we defined the boundary values for the variable classes so that the climatically matching grid cells had their within-class ranges as small as possible but, at the same time, avoided artefactual extreme precision. After a set of pilot reclassifications, the following within-class ranges were applied: GDD, within-class range 50 °C with 51 categories; TJan, within-class range 0.5 °C with 60 categories; WAB, within-class range 50 mm with 55 categories. Next, using the reclassified present-day and future climate surfaces the search of the minimum distances between grid cells with similar present-day and future GDD/TJan/WAB climates were executed. The search was carried out using the ArcGIS software (Desktop 10.5.1.) by employing the Euclidean distance function. The minimum distances measured for each 50-m grid cell were divided by the difference between the mean points in the two time slices, 1981–2010 and 2070–2099. </p><p>The resulting 50-m resolution climate velocity surfaces for the three climate variables are provided in the zipped files included this data repository. In Heikkinen et al. (2020), these climate velocity data were employed in a series of subsequent analyses. For example, high-velocity areas ('velocity hotspots') of the three climate variables were visually compared with each other based on maps showing their 50-m resolution velocities across mainland Finland and the degree of overlap between the present-day range and projected future range of the three climate variables were investigated in each of the 5,068 Natura 2000 polygons included in the study.</p><p><strong>References</strong></p><p>Aalto, J., Riihimäki, H., Meineri, E., Hylander, K., Luoto, M., 2017.

Data from: Local climate change velocities and evolutionary history explain multidirectional range shifts in a North American butterfly assemblage
<p>Species are often expected to shift their distributions either poleward or upslope to evade warming climates and colonize new suitable climatic niches. However, from 18 years of fixed transect monitoring data on 88 species of butterfly in the midwestern United States, we show that butterflies are shifting their centroids in all directions, except towards the region that is warming the fastest (southeast). Butterflies shifted their centroids at a mean rate of 4.87 km yr-1. The rate of centroid shift was significantly associated with local climate change velocity (temperature by precipitation interaction), but not with mean climate change velocity throughout the species' ranges. Species tended to shift their centroids at a faster rate towards regions that are warming at slower velocities but increasing in precipitation velocity. Surprisingly, species' thermal niche breadth (range of climates butterflies experience throughout their distribution) and wingspan (often used as a metric for dispersal capability) were not correlated with the rate at which species shifted their ranges. We observed a high phylogenetic signal in the direction species shifted their centroids. However, we found no phylogenetic signal in the rate species shifted their centroids, suggesting less conserved processes determine the rate of range shift than the direction species shift their ranges. This research shows important signatures of multidirectional range shifts (latitudinal and longitudinal) and uniquely shows that local climate change velocities are more important in driving range shifts than the mean climate change velocity throughout a species' entire range.</p>

Data from: Biotic and climatic velocity identify contrasting areas of vulnerability to climate change
Metrics that synthesize the complex effects of climate change are essential tools for mapping future threats to biodiversity and predicting which species are likely to adapt in place to new climatic conditions, disperse and establish in areas with newly suitable climate, or face the prospect of extirpation. The most commonly used of such metrics is the velocity of climate change, which estimates the speed at which species must migrate over the earth's surface to maintain constant climatic conditions. However, "analog-based" velocities, which represent the actual distance to where analogous climates will be found in the future, may provide contrasting results to the more common form of velocity based on local climate gradients. Additionally, whereas climatic velocity reflects the exposure of organisms to climate change, resultant biotic effects are dependent on the sensitivity of individual species as reflected in part by their climatic niche width. This has motivated development of biotic velocity, a metric which uses data on projected species range shifts to estimate the velocity at which species must move to track their climatic niche. We calculated climatic and biotic velocity for the Western Hemisphere for 1961–2100, and applied the results to example ecological and conservation planning questions, to demonstrate the potential of such analog-based metrics to provide information on broad-scale patterns of exposure and sensitivity. Geographic patterns of biotic velocity for 2954 species of birds, mammals, and amphibians differed from climatic velocity in north temperate and boreal regions. However, both biotic and climatic velocities were greatest at low latitudes, implying that threats to equatorial species arise from both the future magnitude of climatic velocities and the narrow climatic tolerances of species in these regions, which currently experience low seasonal and interannual climatic variability. Biotic and climatic velocity, by approximating lower and upper bounds on migration rates, can inform conservation of species and locally-adapted populations, respectively, and in combination with backward velocity, a function of distance to a source of colonizers adapted to a site's future climate, can facilitate conservation of diversity at multiple scales in the face of climate change.
Data from: The influence of Late Quaternary climate-change velocity on species endemism
The effects of climate change on biodiversity should depend in part on climate displacement rate (climate-change velocity) and its interaction with species' capacity to migrate. We estimated Late Quaternary glacial-interglacial climate-change velocity by integrating macroclimatic shifts since the Last Glacial Maximum with topoclimatic gradients. Globally, areas with high velocities were associated with marked absences of small-ranged amphibians, mammals and birds. The association between endemism and velocity was weakest in the highly vagile birds and strongest in the weakly dispersing amphibians, linking dispersal ability to extinction risk due to climate change. High velocity was also associated with low endemism at regional scales, especially in wet and aseasonal regions, where conditions otherwise favor high richness. Overall, we show that low-velocity areas are essential refuges for Earth's many small-ranged species.

<p>This dataset contains the Ground Freezing Index (GFI) and the relative change of the minimum seasonal velocity compared to the mean velocity between 2005 and 2017 at Becs-de-Bosson rock glacier in the Swiss Alps. Velocity data is measured by GNSS surveys. GFI is the sum of the daily negative GSTs during the entire freezing season, indicating the coldness of the winter temperature.</p>
Data from: Morphological change and phenotypic plasticity in native and non–native pumpkinseed sunfish in response to sustained water velocities
Phenotypic plasticity can contribute to the proliferation and invasion success of nonindigenous species by promoting phenotypic changes that increase fitness, facilitate range expansion and improve survival. In this study, differences in phenotypic plasticity were investigated using young-of-year pumpkinseed sunfish from colonies established with lentic and lotic populations originating in Canada (native) and Spain (non-native). Individuals were subjected to static and flowing water treatments for 80 days. Inter- and intra-population differences were tested using ancova and discriminant function analysis, and differences in phenotypic plasticity were tested through a manova of discriminant function scores. Differences between Iberian and North American populations were observed in dorsal fin length, pectoral fin position and caudal peduncle length. Phenotypic plasticity had less influence on morphology than genetic factors, regardless of population origin. Contrary to predictions, Iberian pumpkinseed exhibited lower levels of phenotypic plasticity than native populations, suggesting that canalization may have occurred in the non-native populations during the processes of introduction and range expansion.

Data from: Three-dimensional shape and velocity changes affect responses of a locust visual interneuron to approaching objects
Adaptive collision avoidance behaviours require accurate detection of complex spatiotemporal properties of an object approaching in an animal's natural, 3-dimensional environment. Within the locust, the lobula giant movement detector (LGMD) and its postsynaptic partner, the descending contralateral movement detector (DCMD) respond robustly to images that emulate an approaching 2-dimensional object and exhibit firing rate modulation correlated with changes in object trajectory. It is not known how this pathway responds to visual expansion of a 3-dimensional object or an approaching object that changes velocity, both of which representing natural stimuli. We compared DCMD responses to images that emulate the approach of a sphere with those elicited by a 2-dimensional disc. A sphere evoked later peak firing and deceased sensitivity to the ratio of the half size of the object to the approach velocity, resulting in an increased threshold subtense angle required to generate peak firing. We also presented locusts with a sphere that decreased or increased velocity against either a white or flow field background. A velocity decrease resulted in transition-associated peak firing followed by a firing rate increase that resembled the response to a constant, slower velocity. A velocity increase resulted in an earlier increase in the firing rate that was more pronounced with an earlier transition. For the flow field contrast used here, we observed no effect of background motion on responses to approaches along constant or changing velocities. These results further demonstrate that this pathway can provide motor circuits for behaviour with salient information about complex stimulus dynamics.
