Bioclimatic areas of wood species represent the areas of natural spreading of wood species as determined by the threshold values of air temperature by climatic amplitudes established for the individual wood species. Establishment of climatic amplitudes of the individual wood species in Slovakia was based on the existing studies, which analysed the results of natural spreading of wood species in Slovakia in relation to the vertical climatic changes. The presented bioclimatic areas are assessed for the following conditions (table): · Tn contemporary climate; · CCCM (Canadian Climate Center Model) climatic scenario; · GISS (Goddard Institute for Space Studies) climatic scenario; · dT1 (National Climatic Programme) climatic scenario.
