Norway spruce at the trailing edge: the effect of landscape configuration and composition on climate resilience.
Juha HonkaniemiWerner RammerRupert SeidlPublished in: Landscape ecology (2020)
The resilience of Norway spruce at the trailing edge of its distribution is challenged by climate change, and considerable efforts are needed to sustain these ecosystems. While currently discussed adaptation measures focus largely on the stand level, we show that modifying landscape composition and configuration can be used to foster Norway spruce resilience while maintaining socio-economically relevant proportions of Norway spruce.
