Results
The probability of current pine presence responded positively with temperature (β=0.046, p=0.005, Table 1) and negatively with precipitation (β=-0.051, p<0.001) when employing the dataset belonging to the PLOT network. The probability of current pine presence responded negatively to temperature (β=-0.007, p<0.001) and precipitation (β=-0.020, p=0.009) when employing the NFI data. Finally, the probability of current pine presence responded positively to temperature (β=0.199, p<0.001) and negatively to precipitation (β=-0.192, p<0.001). See Table 1 for AUC and R2 values and Appendix 1, Fig. S1.2 for ROC curves. When spatially forecasting with the PLOT and ART datasets, the pine distribution will likely expand in range to higher elevations and remain the same in lowland Fennoscandia (Fig. 1).
