Description:
Instructor: Nick Fisichelli, Forest Ecology Program Director, Schoodic Institute, Acadia National Park
Ongoing and future climate change challenges land managers to encourage both current and future forest ecosystems. The magnitude of potential forest change is matched only by the uncertainties in future conditions and how trees will respond to these conditions. On-the-ground research experiments on tree seedlings are needed to understand which tree species will thrive and which will struggle under emerging conditions. This research helps guide forest management responses to climate change. This talk highlights seedling experiments that contribute to the expanding toolbox of climate adaptation approaches that can be used by forest ecologists and managers.
