Mark Berry, The Nature Conservancy’s forest program director, will discuss the effects of climate change on forests on March 22.
In the presentation, Fisichelli and Berry will cover the current and potential impacts of changing climate on our forests, including shifts in species’ distributions and the disturbances that impact forests, factors that help keep forests resilient, potential management responses, and the role of forests in capturing carbon from the atmosphere and storing it in forests, soils, and forest products.
