Mammalian Browsers Disrupt Eco‐Evolutionary Dynamics in a Forest Tree Restoration Planting by João Costa e Silva, Brad M. Potts, Peter A. Harrison

“…Importantly for forest restoration and conservation in the face of global change, our results challenge the choice of tree populations for translocation based solely on predicted or observed relationships of their home‐site climate with current and predicted future climates of the restoration sites, while emphasising the need for genetic diversity to provide future resilience of restored forests to both biotic and abiotic stresses.…”
