Plants CRAVE electrolytes!

Can you please add me?

In temperate forests, harvests are often conducted in the winter over deep snow and froze soils. This has likely contributed to past resilience. Climate change is reducing the window for these winter harvests and will probably result in more disturbance to the forest floor and ground layer.

However, it remains unclear whether they can remain resilient under intensive silvicultural regimes, in the face of increased pressure from climate change, increased deer herbivory, invasive earthworms, and introduced plant species.

Our research, and that of others, suggests that diversity and composition has generally been resilient to past disturbance (clearcutting and heavy partial cuts).

I the long term we will examine growth and survival, and physiology, of these seedlings, as well as species composition and structure at the community level, and how these relate to a broad range of values, ecosystem functions and services.

The climate is changing faster than trees can migrate to new suitable habitat. Transitioning composition to species that are better adapted to future climate conditions is one silvicultural adaptation strategy we are testing.

We planted all species within 1-acre patch openings and shelterwoods. It will be interesting to contrast species and see if the shelterwoods facilitate better survival for the more southern species by mitigating harsh environmental conditions (frost).

I had similar problems recently with those and returned them and went with HOBO sensors and data loggers. HOBOs are more expensive. However, you can replace batteries with HOBOs. The process is not straightforward with ibuttons which are made to be disposable. You basically have to break them open.

Sorry, that is up to 3.82 billion years!

Good question, it may slow things down a bit! Burns and Honkala forever, or for now anyway.

These states, specifically? New Mexico, Arizona, Michigan, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon, Rhode Island, Washington and Vermont.
