What we're doing is we're using the occurrences, which is the specific space where these species have been collected, to extract what their climatic envelope is through using other information such as temperature, precipitation,

And that way, by calculating that climatic envelope, we can project into the future with IPCC's predictions on climate change.

In this way, we can basically see visually if these species are going to increase in their climatic space so they can colonize new areas and increase their populations, or the opposite might even happen, where this climatic space is going to be reduced and therefore these species are under stress and they will be disappearing locally.

With meadow barley being an indicator species of lowland meadows and part of the red list species here in Ireland, it's important to understand that even though these species can be found and they are endangered, it's also how we manage them and how can we conserve them so we have them in our futures.

And this research that we're doing on climate change has been really interesting.

There's been other documents that mention that meadow barley might increase in the short term.

And we also notice that in our models.

But in the future, 70 years from now, we actually see that there could be a massive drop on the climatic space that this species can grow.

Therefore, informing management decisions now can help us preserve species in the future.

that we need to manage species now.

It's clear that there's going to be a lot of threats to our ecosystems due to climate change.

And different predictions give us different levels of threat.

But we need to do something now.

And the general public can do a lot of things, just like we mentioned about orchids.

Like, oh, let's just manage our gardens and manage our spaces and just not mow every time.

And we will have an increase in diversity and we might help these species remain here with us.

So management actually helps and we need to start doing it now.
