abstract = "Ongoing anthropogenic climate change is becoming one of the major
threats to biodiversity. Studies that aim at projecting the future
impacts of ongoing climate change on biodiversity should use
general circulation models (GCMs) that show a good performance in
the region of study, an information that is lacking for the
Atlantic Forest. Here, we evaluated the performance of different
GCMs over the Atlantic Forest, describe the predicted climatic
changes for the regions based on the best performing GCMs, review
the literature on observed and predicted impacts of climate change
on the Atlantic Forest biodiversity, and discuss adaptation
strategies to reduce the negative impacts of climate change on the
regions biodiversity. The Atlantic Forest, with its large
latitudinal and altitudinal range, is under different climatic
regimes, showing different climate change predictions in its
northern and southern portions. Eight GCMs showed good performance
for the following region: ACCESS10, CanCM4, CanESM1, CMCC-CM,
HadGEM2-CC, HadGEM2-ES, MIROC4h, and MPI-ESM-LR. Under a
business-as-usual scenario (RCP 8.5), these models project a mean
temperature increase of 4.8 °C to 5.6 °C. Precipitation, however,
did not show a clear trend in the Atlantic Forest as a whole,
possibly because of the expected decrease in precipitation in its
northern portion and increase in southern. There is a growing
number of studies projecting the impacts of climate change on
Atlantic Forest biodiversity, with a taxonomic bias toward
terrestrial vertebrates, showing with high confidence that there
is a high risk of biodiversity loss in the Atlantic Forest due to
climate change. There are, however, significant knowledge gaps in
altitudinal, freshwater, and coastal environments. Ecosystem-based
adaptation (EbA), which uses ecosystems to promote societal
adaptation to climate change, is particularly appropriate for the
Atlantic Forest because of favorable legal background for
conservation, restoration, and payment for ecosystem services in
states within the biome; presence of influential civil society
organizations and academic institutions; and thriving
on-the-ground experiences in EbA.",
