What causes large fires in Southern France (2013, positive): “Furthermore, the whole study area must be concerned by these measures because the area with the highest fire risk will probably shift toward the North with the global change (Piñol et al., 1998; Brown et al., 2004; Millar et al., 2007).”
Density‐dependent vulnerability of forest ecosystems to drought (2017, background): “Coping with these consequences represents one of the greatest contemporary challenges facing forest resource managers tasked with sustaining the delivery of ecosystem services under unprecedented moisture deﬁcits (Millar, Stephenson & Stephens 2007; Lindner et al. 2014).”
Review of the literature on the links between biodiversity and climate change: impacts, adaptation and mitigation. (2009, background): “For example, habitat connectivity has been identified as a particularly important adaptation strategy for many forest species (Roy and de Blois 2008), and could enhance the diversity and resilience of forest ecosystems to climate change (Chapin et al. 2007; Millar et al. 2007).”
Ecological consequences of mountain pine beetle outbreaks for wildlife in western North American forests (2014, background): “These interactions will probably cause significant shifts in plant species composition and disturbance regimes and thus distributions of suitable habitat for wildlife (Millar et al. 2007).”
The role of forest genetic resources in responding to biotic and abiotic factors in the context of anthropogenic climate change (2014, background): “diversity, management strategies should support diversification at all three levels (Millar et al., 2007; Jump et al., 2008).”
Forests and global change: what can genetics contribute to the major forest management and policy challenges of the twenty-first century? (2016, background): “The recognition that there is no single approach underlines the importance of selecting appropriate practices that fit the conditions and objectives of each particular situation (Millar et al. 2007).”
Climate-Resilient Pathways: Adaptation, Mitigation, and Sustainable Development (2014, background): “Examples include mechanisms such as the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and Joint Implementation (JI) (e.g., Millar et al., 2007), which may seek to offset carbon emissions, build adaptive capacities of local communities, and provide sustainable development dividends despite mixed results in…”
Comparative genetic responses to climate in the varieties of Pinus ponderosa and Pseudotsuga menziesii: Reforestation (2014, background): “While management strategies and options become more complex in a changing climate (see Millar et al., 2007), the underlying goal of reforestation should remain the same, that is, to optimize forest health, growth, and productivity by assuring that new generations are genetically suited to their…”
Suitability of close-to-nature silviculture for adapting temperate European forests to climate change (2014, methodology): “…the issue of adapting forest management to climate change and future uncertainty (Spittlehouse and Stewart, 2003; Broadmeadow et al., 2005; Millar et al., 2007; Rigling et al., 2008; Innes et al., 2009; Bolte et al., 2009, 2010a;Stokes and Kerr, 2009;Lindner et al., 2010;Seidl et al.,…”
Contrasting vulnerability and resilience to drought-induced decline of densely planted vs. natural rear-edge Pinus nigra forests (2013, result): “Altogether, these results constitute new information which not only furthers our understanding of Mediterranean forests, but will also aid in developing new guidelines for adapting forests to withstand climate warming (Millar et al., 2007).”
