Pilot sites of the FFEM projectCriteria for selection of pilot sites The pilot sites were selected according to the following criteria: - Pilot sites representative of ecosystems/bioclimatic characteristics emblematic of the region;
- Pilot sites representative of ecosystems/bioclimatic zones considered particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, and/or showing signs of visible decline may due to climate change;
- The vulnerability of pilot sites is considered at three levels: threats to survival, change of range, impacts on functions(goods and services);
- Ecosystems/bioclimatic zones, where synergies exist with other data and studies completed or in progress;
- Areas with historical climate data existing and where the impact of climate change is evident.
