Table 2 Classification of tree species and groups of tree species into composites based on the basic species characteristics, e.g., of being mesophilic, xerophytic, thermophilic, or cold tolerant.

From: Climate envelope analyses suggests significant rearrangements in the distribution ranges of Central European tree species
