Assisted migration in a warmer and drier climate: less climate buffering capacity, less facilitation and more fires at temperate latitudes?
Assisted tree migration has been proposed as a conceptual solution to mitigate lags in biotic
responses to anthropogenic climate change. The rationale behind this concept is that tree …
