Assisted migration of forest populations for adapting trees to climate change

En este trabajo se presenta evidencia de que el cambio climatico es un proceso que esta en curso y que las poblaciones de arboles forestales son geneticamente diferenciadas en caracteres cuantitativos debido a la adaptacion en habitats especificos. Se discuten en detalle las evidencias de que el desplazamiento del habitat climatico apropiado para especies y poblaciones de arboles forestales, debido al rapido cambio climatico, probablemente causara estres importante a las poblaciones naturales de arboles. Debido a los limites fisicos de la migracion natural, las poblaciones de arboles seran incapaces de mantenerse acopladas al blanco movil en el que se convertira su habitat climatico apropiado. El consiguiente desacoplamiento entre las poblaciones naturales y el clima para el cual estan adaptadas, provocara probablemente mayor declinacion forestal, como ya esta sucediendo en varios bosques del mundo. Con el fin de adaptarse al cambio climatico, ?Que opciones de manejo forestal se tienen? ?Cuales podrian ser las consecuencias de la inaccion? Se describe y discute la migracion asistida, que consiste en la realineacion fisica de poblaciones naturales con el clima para el cual estan adaptadas, mediante la reforestacion de los sitios donde se proyecta que el clima propicio ocurrira en el futuro. Lo anterior se considera una opcion de manejo activo para mantener los ecosistemas con arboles sanos en el futuro.
