So what does this mean?

➡️Paleoclimate dataset choice strongly impacts biogeographical hypotheses, reconstructions and conclusions.

➡️ Evaluate the limitations of the dataset you use, especially when you work in/with mountain regions.

5️⃣ The resolution of several downscaled paleoclimate datasets is unsuitable to capture LGM temperatures in mountainous regions.

3️⃣ We illustrated the impact of this variability on treeline elevations, and found that it results in both overestimation (i.e. too high) and underestimation (i.e. too low).

4️⃣ Depending on the paleoclimate dataset used, the reconstructions can differ from 288 metres to as much as 2779 metres.

1️⃣ We found that LGM cooling is globally both over- and underestimated by downscaled paleoclimate datasets.

2️⃣ The median temperature difference between paleoclimate datasets and proxy records is larger within than outside mountain ranges, with substantial differences amongst datasets.
