Assisted Migration: A Strategy to Ensure Forest Survival in a Changing Climate

Assisted migration involves the intentional movement of tree populations or species to climatically suitable habitats in response to changing climate. It enhances forest resilience by improving the adaptive capacity of tree species, conserving biodiversity and sustaining ecosystem productivity and services. By mitigating the risks of climate-induced forest decline such as reduced growth, regeneration failure and species loss, assisted migration ensures forest survival and supports sustainable forest management.
