The redistribution of forest vegetation types in Slovenia, driven by the expected climate change, has been simulated. The potential spatial changes of forest vegetation have been analyzed using empirical GIS model forecasting the spatial distribution of forest vegetation in relation to climate and other ecological parameters. Based on three different climate scenarios, the simulations showed that the spatial pattern of forest vegetation will be altered under the impacts of climate change. The results are also relevant for historical landscape management.
