Assisted migration (AM) is often presented as a strategy to save species that are imminently threatened by rapid climate change. This conception of AM, which has generated considerable controversy, typically proposes the movement narrowly distributed, suitable sites beyond their current range limits. However, existing North American forestry operations present an opportunity practice AM on larger scale, across millions hectares, with focus moving populations widely nonthreatened tree within...
Assisted migration has been proposed as one tool to reduce some of the negative ecological consequences climate change. The idea is move species locations that could better suit them climatically in future. Although humanmediated movements are not a recent phenomenon, assisted lately source debate, particular within conservation biology circles. In this paper, we outline major perspectives help define differing views on and shed light ethical roots debate context Canadian forests. We...
The idea that humans can assist nature by purposely moving species to suitable habitats fill the gap between their migration capability and expected rate of climate change is being increasingly contemplated debated as an adaptive management option. interest in assisted migration, both scientific community society at large, growing rapidly starting be translated into action Canada. However, concept its infancy; clear terminology has not yet been established still encompasses a broad range...
Abstract Projected changes in climate conditions vary widely across Canada's 350 M ha of forests, and so does the capacity forest species to cope with these (sensitivity). Development prioritization adaptation strategies for sustainable management will depend on integrated assessments relative stand vulnerability. We developed species‐specific indices sensitivity (1) drought‐induced mortality (2) migration failure, based traits 22 most abundant tree Canada. By combining this information...
