Article evaluation:

Rating: C

Lead section: somewhat short; interchanges migration with expansion; “environmental suppression” is listed as something which controls forest migration, but is not described

Clear Structure/imbalanced sections: structure is provided, but a lot of information is seemingly out of place—for example, entire paragraphs about current climate change and its effects are in a section called “Retention of low-density founder populations”—this also makes a less important aspect of the topic seem way more important than it is

Sourcing/gaps in sourcing: I think this is the biggest issue in this article. It is not evenly cited throughout, there is only one source in the lead section, that same one source in section 1 and 2 (only cited once in each section); no citations for paragraphs describing the current state of knowledge of forest migration in the context of climate change, and then there is one sentence with 8 citations??? Also, the sources are outdated.
