A wide range of climatic conditions in Ukraine causes significant regional differences in the vulnerability of forests to the current rapid climate change. The mitigation/adaptation strategy should be based on assessments of their vulnerability at the regional level. Phytoindication model by Prof. Y.P. Didukh was used to assess forest vulnerability. The model provides a quantitative estimation of climate as one of the major environmental factors affecting the distribution, condition and producti
