Preferred term

refugia

Refugia are places biota can contract to and persist in during deteriorating environmental conditions, and from where species can expand under more benign conditions. These may vary from regions (i.e. macrorefugia) to local patches (i.e. microrefugia) where environmental conditions remain stable and favourable for biota compared to the surrounding landscape. Long-term stability is therefore a key characteristic of any refugium.

refuge habitats

Refugia are habitats that components of biodiversity retreat to, persist in and can potentially expand from under changing environmental conditions. Although difficult to quantify, the concept of refuges is based on shorter ecological time-scales of minutes to decades, while refugia operate over longer evolutionary time-scales of millennia.
