Research project Climate adaptations for forest biodiversity:
Identifying refugia for retreating cold-favouring species
Northern cold-favoured species are threatened towards their southern geographical range margins. One important challenge is to identify and protect the places within the forest landscape where populations of these species currently occur and can be maintained. However, important knowledge gaps hamper an effective implementation of this potentially effective climate adaptation tool across. The overarching aim of the project is to understand the premises for such places, denoted “climate refugia”.
