Charting Assisted Migration as a Climate Change Adaptation Strategy
Mary Williams, Michigan Technological University, Houghton, MI
Assisted migration, defined as the movement of native plants to facilitate natural range expansion in direct management response to climate change, has gained attention as an adaptation strategy since 2007. Drawing from conventional reforestation practices and proposed adaptation strategies, we chart the implementation of assisted migration and provide resources for researchers, landowners, and nurseries to facilitate collaboration and development of reforestation and restoration plans.
