CLIMEX is a dynamic simulation model for predicting the effects of climate on the distribution of plants and animals. Climate is one of the major factors limiting the distribution of plants and cold-blooded animals. CLIMEX uses climate information, and knowledge about the biology and distribution of species in their original habitat, to provide a rapid, reliable assessment of the risks posed by the introduction of various organisms, and can be used to predict their spread. It can also be used to identify possible collection and release sites for biological control agents. Possible changes due to the Greenhouse Effect can be tested.
