Figure 7. A variety of methods generate traits-based
predictions of ecological response to global change. Approaches vary in
the scale and resolution of trait data inputs and predictive outputs
(see Fig 1). To date, trait-based studies focused on global change
prediction have been limited (<3% of 822 papers). Here we
highlight some of the studies that explicitly predict future ecological
outcomes based on trait-based interactions, and types of environmental
filtering they consider. Size of the grey triangle represents the
relative abundance of each study type within 22 predictive global change
papers; trait-based distribution models are most common, while spatially
explicit trait-based process models are least common. * Analyses
are not spatially explicit. 1Eckloff et al. 2015,2Ozkundakci et al. 2016, 3Cattano et
