Snow refugia: Managing temperate forest canopies to maintain winter conditions
Abstract Climate change is reducing snowpack across temperate regions with negative consequences for human and natural systems. Because forest canopies create microclimates that preserve snowpack, managing forests to support snow refugia—defined here as areas that remain relatively buffered from con...
