TL;DR: This work compiled spatially-detailed housing growth data from 1940 to 2030, and quantified growth for each wilderness area, national park, and national forest in the conterminous United States to show that housing development in the United States may severely limit the ability of protected areas to function as a modern “Noah’s Ark.”
Journal ArticleDOI

Andreas Rigling,Christof Bigler,Britta Eilmann,Elisabeth Feldmeyer-Christe,Urs Gimmi,Christian Ginzler,Ulrich Graf,Philipp Mayer,Giorgio Vacchiano,Pascale Weber,Thomas Wohlgemuth,Roman Zweifel,Matthias Dobbertin +12 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that an extended shift in species composition is actually occurring in the pine forests in the Valais, with the main driving factors found to be climatic variability, particularly drought, and variability in stand structure and topography.
