Natural resource managers need information about the risks associated with climate change to provide guidance on where to implement various management practices on natural lands. The spatial variation of projected impacts within a vegetation type can be used to target climate‐adaptive management actions because different locations will be exposed to different levels of climatic stress. Vegetation refugia are areas that retain non‐stressful climate conditions under future climates. Consensus vegetation refugia – areas retaining suitable climates under both wetter and drier future projections – represent only 14.6% of California's natural vegetation. One state and one federal government agency have incorporated vegetation refugia maps into conservation planning for 522 vertebrate species and for post‐wildfire reforestation. Monitoring how vegetation responds to management actions at sites within vegetation refugia can improve the conservation of plants subjected to a changing climate.

植被避难可以为全球变暖下的气候适应性土地管理提供信息

自然资源管理者需要有关与气候变化有关的风险的信息，以提供有关在何处实施自然土地管理实践的指导。植被类型内预计影响的空间变化可用于确定针对气候的管理措施，因为不同的地点将面临不同水平的气候压力。植被避难所是在未来气候下保持无压力气候条件的地区。共识植物保护区（在潮湿和干燥的未来预测下仍能保持适当气候的地区）仅占加利福尼亚州自然植被的14.6％。一个州和一个联邦政府机构已将植被避难所地图纳入了522种脊椎动物的物种保护规划和野火后的植树造林中。
