  • The article discusses the use of assisted gene flow to to help tree species adapt to climatic changes. Particular focus is given to the practice of moving tree species with desired traits to different parts of their natural range so that it can come into contact with other species. Details on experiments with Sitka spruce trees at the University of British Columbia are presented. Topics discussed include genetic diversity, assisted migration, and seed zones.
