Other claims from this paper (13)
- Observation The Abies religiosa model was among the most realistic present-day models.
- Observation The Picea chihuahuana model was among the most realistic present-day models.
- Observation The Liquidambar styraciflua model was among the most realistic present-day models.
- Observation The Taxodium mucronatum model performed less desirably and showed a clear lack of agreement between predicted and actual distribution.
- Observation The Artemisia ludoviciana model performed less desirably, with its broad distribution making climate parameter selection difficult.
- Observation The accurate present-day Abies religiosa model performed well when projected into past climate data.
- Observation The accurate present-day Picea chihuahuana model performed well when projected into past climate data.
- Observation The accurate present-day Liquidambar styraciflua model performed well when projected into past climate data.
- Observation The Picea mid-Holocene model produced a surprising result by placing Picea in central Mexico, which the pollen record does not support.
- Observation The Liquidambar mid-Holocene model does not reflect the fossil-record occurrence of Liquidambar in the Mexican Basin.
- Recommendation Modern bioclimatic modeling with high-resolution climate data is useful for generating paleoecological distributions of plant taxa.
- Recommendation Bioclimatic envelope modeling should use an appropriate taxon with an easily-defined climatic envelope.
- Recommendation Modeled distributions should be checked by a thorough comparison with palynological records.
