Canadian Council of Forest Ministers Wildland Fire Management Working Group Action Plan 2021–2026
This issue highlights new analysis of critical seed transfer distances. Tree populations are expected to become increasingly maladapted to local climate conditions as the century progresses. In anticipation of these impacts, many jurisdictions are reviewing and revising their seed transfer systems, which provide guidance regarding the movements of seeds and seedlings for forest regeneration.
