Key factors affecting the future distribution of tropical humid and dry forests are amounts and seasonalities of precipitation, increased temperatures, prolonged droughts and droughted-moderated fires  . The probability of severe drought is projected to quadruple in natural areas in Brazil with >2ºC warming . Most multi-model studies assuming rapid economic growth/business-as-usual scenarios  show an increase in future woody biomass and areas of woody cover towards the end of the 21st century in temperate regions  and tropical forests in East Africa  but a decrease in the remaining tropical regions . Terrestrial species are predicted to shift to cooler temperatures and higher elevations . Tropical species are more susceptible to climate warming than temperate species . This susceptibility will be exacerbated by road-building increasing the ease of access into forests . Furthermore, most tropical cloud forest species are unable to invade grasslands and this will increase the risk of extinctions in tropical cloud forests .
