Managing climate change microrefugia for vascular plants in forested karst landscapes

•Forested dolines may provide microrefugia for a number of cool-adapted species.•Plant species indicate clear gradients of microclimatic factors within dolines.•Intensive management causes substantial changes in the microclimate of dolines.•Forest management may influence the capacity of dolines to be microrefugia.•Close-to-nature forestry in dolines would be crucial for biodiversity.
