Are local range expansions in southerly populations of Aloidendron dichotomum early indicators of a future range shift?
Aloidendron dichotomum is predicted to undergo a south and south-eastern range shift in response to anthropogenic climate warming. Despite this, its range is suggested to be limited by low temperature extremes at the cool range edge and no such range shift has yet been confirmed. However, …
