Fig. 1. Conceptual framework illustrating the interacting roles of climate change, wildfire regimes, and boreal forest ecosystems in shaping opportunities for assisted migration. Each circle represents a major driver of forest change, with overlapping zones identifying key consequences (zones 1 to 6) and the central intersection (zone 7) representing the opportunity space for implementing assisted migration strategies. Arrows indicate reinforcing feedbacks between drivers, which contribute to altered disturbance dynamics and ecosystem responses.
