Abstract:<p>Assisted migration programs, introducing new better adapted species at critical locations in our forests, have the potential to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change through the increase of forest diversity and resilience. While such measures entail ecological risks related with invasiveness of exotic species or outbreaks of new diseases, introducing close relatives of native species or populations from different parts of the species range is seen as the ecologically safer option.
