Cold adaptation recorded in tree rings highlights risks associated with climate change and assisted migration
Assisted migration has been proposed to aid trees in altering their ranges under climate change. Here, Montwé et al. use common garden experiments to show that lodgepole pine populations vary in their cold susceptibility, suggesting seed transfer may increase the risk of frost damage.
