Banking on the future: progress, challenges and opportunities for the genetic conservation of forest trees (2017, background): “assisted migration for ‘‘species rescue’’ purposes is difficult and has been rarely implemented (Pedlar et al. 2012).”
Considerations for restoring temperate forests of tomorrow: forest restoration, assisted migration, and bioengineering (2015, background): “Clearly, forest species change locations and in their abundance on the landscape in response to changing climate; movement can be long distance (Ohlemüller et al. 2012) or relative to aspect (Millar et al. 2006) and may occur in unfamiliar ways in the future, highlighting the ever-important need…”
Frost hardiness vs. growth performance in trembling aspen: an experimental test of assisted migration (2013, background): “This problem can be reduced with human-aided movement of reforestation stock to appropriate climate environments, and large-scale reforestation programes offer an opportunity to implement such a climate change adaptation strategy cost-effectively (Gray et al. 2011; Pedlar et al. 2012).”
Does biodiversity make a difference? Relationships between species richness, evolutionary diversity, and aboveground live tree biomass across U.S. forests. (2014, background): “Foresters make conscious decisions regarding the selection of tree species during most management activities which provide an avenue for adaptation to climate change (Pedlar et al., 2012).”
