Maladaptation, migration and extirpation fuel climate change risk in a forest tree species

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 18 January 2021; doi:10.1038/s41558-020-00968-6

The authors use a subset of climate-associated genetic loci to predict future climate maladaptation for balsam poplar (Populus balsamifera) populations while also considering migration potential. They predict the greatest disruptions along the longitudinal edge of the species range.
