Climate change could make a walk in the woods a much rarer pleasure
If you like to take a walk in the woods in the United States or you prefer to decorate a Douglas fir at Christmas, you should know that climate change is making both of those activities a lot harder.
Looking at two ecologically and economically important species -- the Douglas fir and the Ponderosa pine -- scientists found that fires and drought exacerbated by climate change make new growth difficult, especially in low-elevation forests, according to a study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.The 2000 Canyon Ferry Complex Fire site in the Helena National Forest, Montana, 17 years later.
There are some things people can do to mitigate some of this problem, Davis said. Forest management plans that reduce high-severity burns can help. Increasingly, forest managers are considering allowing some fires to burn under more moderate conditions, Davis said. Forest managers can also replant trees after fire, at least in the areas where climate conditions will allow. "The people we work with who manage forests are planning for climate change," Davis said.
