Our research interests

Theme 3 : Mitigating climate change

The third research theme covers the role of trees in an urban environment in the context of climate change. Thus, we aim to identify approaches to increase the diversity of species available to ensure the resilience of the forest to different biotic and abiotic stresses.


Project : Literature review on assisted migration of trees in urban areas 

The main objective of this project will essentially be to provide a synthesis of current knowledge on the assisted migration of urban trees.​

Project : Assisted migration of trees in urban areas 

​Trees in cities are already under quite significant stress and we anticipate that under climate change, conditions will be more difficult, including higher temperatures and more frequent droughts. Assisted migration is a proposed strategy in natural forests to help forests cope with these changes. Assisted migration is the movement of species to new locations that should better match their adaptation to a future climate. We want to start an assisted migration approach in the city as well. We are working with the City of Quebec to identify the species that would be more adapted to future climate conditions in a context of higher temperatures and more frequent and intense drought. We are also developing a social component in this project.
