Large old trees are some of the most iconic biota on earth and are integral parts of many
terrestrial ecosystems including those in tropical, temperate and boreal forests, deserts …

Climate, physical landscapes, and biota interact to generate heterogeneous hydrologic
conditions in space and over time, which are reflected in spatial patterns of species …

Refugia have long been studied from paleontological and biogeographical perspectives to
understand how populations persisted during past periods of unfavorable climate. Recently …

Large old trees are among the biggest organisms on Earth. They are keystone structures in
forests, woodlands, savannas, agricultural landscapes, and urban areas, playing unique …

Refugia–areas that may facilitate the persistence of species during large‐scale, long‐term
climatic change–are increasingly important for conservation planning. There are many …

ABSTRACT Quaternary (last 2.6 million years) botany involves studying plant megafossils
(eg tree stumps), macrofossils (eg seeds, leaves), and microfossils (eg pollen, spores) …

Disturbance refugia–locations that experience less severe or frequent disturbances than the
surrounding landscape–provide a framework to highlight not only where and why these …

Humans have long utilized resources from all forest biomes, but the most indelible
anthropogenic signature has been the expanse of human populations in temperate forests …

Forests are essential for global environmental well-being because of their rich provision of
ecosystem services and regulating factors. Global forests are under increasing pressure …

As most regions of the earth transition to altered climatic conditions, new methods are
needed to identify refugia and other areas whose conservation would facilitate persistence …
