Interesting article on assisted migration of redwoods. This idea is starting to catch on. I think the naysayers are a little too fearful—are there any documented negative effects of moving long-lived and slow to reproduce trees to areas that have a long history of biogeographic contact? I am not aware of any. Most invasive species are small, fast to reproduce, and introduced to radically distant ecosystems.
I’m a big fan of “Betteridge’s Law Of Headlines” and reading this headline made me sad.
Haha I don’t think you can apply that universally. That said, it may be a bit questionable whether redwoods are even threatened by climate change.
