Human-aided movement of species populations in large-scale reforestation programs could be an effective and cost-efficient climate change adaptation strategy. Assisted migration prescriptions in forestry are currently being implemented by several Canadian provincial forestry agencies. Such large-scale management interventions, however, tend to entail the risks of unintended consequences, especially when guided by imperfect models and partial information. This project will fill scientific knowledge gaps and develop robust modeling techniques that can directly inform policy developments for seed transfer at this critical juncture.

在大规模造林计划中，人类辅助的物种种群迁移可能是一种有效且具有成本效益的气候变化适应战略。加拿大几个省级林业机构目前正在执行林业方面的协助移徙规定。然而，这种大规模的管理干预往往会带来意外后果的风险，特别是在不完善的模型和不完整的信息指导下。该项目将填补科学知识空白，并开发强大的建模技术，可以在这个关键时刻直接为种子转让政策的制定提供信息。
