  1. Simulated effects of climate change, fragmentation, and inter-specific competition on tree species migration in northern Wisconsin, USA

    The reproductive success, growth, and mortality rates of tree species in the northern United States will be differentially affected by projected climate change over the next century. As a consequence, the spatial distributions of tree species will expand or contract at differential rates. In addition, human fragmentation of the landscape may limit effective seed...

  3. Tree species migration studies in the White Mountains of New Hampshire

    The movement of tree species in either latitude or elevation has attracted increased recent attention due to growing national/international concerns over climate change. However, studies on tree species movements began in the early 1970s in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, mostly due to ecological interests in the episodic behavior of upper-elevation tree species...

  4. Microbial communities may modify how litter quality affects potential decomposition rates as tree species migrate

    Background and aims Climate change alters regional plant species distributions, creating new combinations of litter species and soil communities. Biogeographic patterns in microbial communities relate to dissimilarity in microbial community function, meaning novel litters to communities may decompose differently than predicted from their chemical composition. Therefore...

  5. Wildlife of southern forests habitat & management (Chapter 2): Early History

    According to fossil records from coal beds, primeval forests of the South eons ago were complex forests of club moss trees and ferns (Burdette 1995). Since that time forest composition and distribution have changed in response to natural phenomena and later, to the influences of man. Over a long period of time primeval forests evolved from club mosses and ferns...

  6. Assessing the potential for urban trees to facilitate forest tree migration in the eastern United States

    Latitudinal shifts in tree species distributions are a potential impact of climate change on forest ecosystems. It has been hypothesized that some tree species...

  7. Age-related changes in tree growth and physiology

    Trees pass through specific developmental phases as they age, including juvenile to adult, and vegetative to reproductive phases. The timing of these transitions is regulated genetically but is also highly influenced by the environment. Tree species have evolved different strategies and life histories that affect how they age – for example some pioneer species are fast...

  8. Correspondence regarding "The problem of conifer species migration lag in the Pacific Northwest region since the last glaciation" by Eias, S.A., (2013), Quaternary Science Reviews 77, 55-69

    The velocity of species dispersal post-last glacial maximum (LGM) is an interesting question from both paleo-historical and contemporary perspectives. The apparent time lag between a location’s climate becoming suitable for a given species and that species’ arrival at that location has important implications for our understanding of the relationship between climate...
