How Climate Change is Affecting Our Forests

Introduction

Climate change is having profound effects on forests around the world, from increased wildfires to shifting species ranges.

Section 1: Observable Changes

Scientists are documenting significant changes in forest ecosystems, including earlier spring blooms, increased pest outbreaks, and more frequent and severe wildfires.

Section 2: Adaptation Strategies

Forest managers are developing strategies to help forests adapt to changing conditions, including assisted migration of tree species and creating more resilient forest structures.
