It’s likely why restoration practices will have to plan for what the climate might be, not what it was 10,000 years ago. This includes fire resistance.
Planting endemic/indigenous natives may be a form of climate change denial at some point in the future.
Conservation efforts usually strive to maintain existing conditions or restore back to some historical state. Increasingly, we will be faced with managing system transformation, and may need to focus on sustaining ecological functions, rather than historic assemblages of plants and animals.
