The influence of the expected climatic changes on bioclimatic conditions of spruce occurrence in the West Carpathians was evaluated according to the four different methodological approaches. For determination of the impacts of a climate change on patterns of land cover with spruce a climate-vegetation classification model was used (Holdridge life zone classification model). For prediction of changes in the composition and productivity of spruce stands in response to a climate change the Forest Gap Model was used. Besides this we made a direct analysis of relevant bioclimatic variables and estimated precipitation sufficiency of spruce. By comparing different methods we tried to obtain reliable results of the influence of climatic changes on the present and future occurrence of spruce and its future cultivation in the West Carpathians.
