🆕 in Ecosphere's "Vegetation Ecology" track: A hot & dry future may shake up Yellowstone forests—think fewer spruce, more fire-tolerant neighbors
📄Simulated postfire tree regeneration suggests reorganization of Greater Yellowstone forests during the 21st century

New paper out now in Ecosphere (esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...)! Forest landscape simulations in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem suggest that changes in postfire structure and composition, and not a conversion to non-forest, are the dominant response to future climate.

Great collaborative work bridging science and management led by @ttkeller.bsky.social !
New paper in Ecological Applications! Management that mimics historical mosaics of fire severity could promote postfire tree regeneration under future climate change. Thanks to co-authors @monicagturner.bsky.social @rupertseidl.bsky.social @christinadollinger.bsky.social @knowlton.bsky.social
Can fire exclusion zones enhance postfire tree regeneration? A simulation study in subalpine conifer forests
Climate change and novel fire regimes increasingly challenge stewardship of forests adapted to infrequent, stand-replacing fire. Novel fire regimes may disrupt mechanisms that sustained postfire rege...

We’ve suspected for a long time that rainfall variability increases with warming. Now, observations are long enough and of sufficient quality to prove it. Not enough rain, and then too much, exacerbates climate impacts and makes adaptation more difficult.

Anthropogenic amplification of precipitation variability over the past century
As the climate warms, the consequent moistening of the atmosphere increases extreme precipitation. Precipitation variability should also increase, producing larger wet-dry swings, but that is yet to b...

Conveying results of #simulationmodels is tricky. We produced a video to help folks understand how #climatechange and #fire could affect the iconic landscape of Greater #Yellowstone. Would love to see this used for ecology classes and outreach. @ttkeller.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIp7...
