The maintenance of productivity and of ecological and societal services requires resilient populations and ecosystems, particularly close to the vulnerable trailing (xeric) range limits. The studies confirm the selective effect of diverse habitat/climate conditions across the species ranges. Soil conditions may mask climate effects and should be considered separately. The unique potential of provenance tests is illustrated by growth response projections that may be less dramatic than provided by usual inventory data analyses. Assisted migration appears to be a feasible management action to compensate for climatic warming. However, the choice of populations needs special care under extreme conditions and outside the limits of current natural distribution ranges. The proper differentiation of measures according to the present and future adaptive challenges require the continuation of long-term analyses and the establishment of better focused field trials in disparate climates that contain populations from a representative range of habitats. The studies present results obtained from diverse regions of the temperate forest zone, from Central and Northwestern Europe, the Mediterranean, Russia, China, North and Central America.Research & information: generalbicsscCamptotheca acuminataMaxEntclimateAPsuitable habitatclimate changesoilgenetic variationseed sourcingforest managementgenetic conservationPinus sylvestrisclimate-change impactsecosystem responses to climatespecies distributionsclimatype distributionsadaptive managementprovenance testgenecologyreforestationrestorationconservationassisted migrationclimatic changeclimate transfer distancedryness indexAbies religiosasurvivalmortalitybiomassbasal diameterMonarch Butterfly Biosphere ReservePicea abiesfield trialsprovenancesfamiliesclonesheight growthphenotypic stabilityphenotypic plasticitymountain foresttree species selectionScots pineadaptationwood anatomytracheidogramtraitscommon gardensilver firgrand firBalkan firsdrought stressresiliencescots pine seed mass and seed zonesa provenance trialbioclimatic modelsan ensemble of general circulation modelsRCP 2.6 and RCP 8.5 scenariosRussiaResearch & information: generalMátyás Csabaedt1300055Mátyás CsabaothBOOK9910557691903321Genetic Resources and Adaptive Management of Conifers in a Changing World3025380UNINA
