- Reposted by Sara GoekingIf you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow. The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.
- New research finds that spring runoff consists of more "old" water than new snowmelt, whereas "new" snowmelt infiltrates to replace previously stored water. Forests likely depend on groundwater that has been stored for multiple years. Funded by Natl Science Foundation www.nature.com/articles/s43...

- What is a forest? Our review discusses different definitions of "forest" and implications for assessing status and trends such as deforestation, degradation, and encroachment. US NFI definition is broader than the UN FAO or Resources Planning Act Assessments. doi.org/10.1016/j.tf... 🍁

- Reposted by Sara GoekingIs there a link between #ClimateChange & increasing risk/severity of #wildfire in California--including the still-unfolding disaster? Yes. Is climate change the only factor at play? No, of course not. So what's really going on? [Thread] #CAfire #CAwx #LAfires iopscience.iop.org/a...
- When monitoring whitebark pine and limber pine, how accurate are species identifications of these similar species? This paper answers the question, suggests future data quality improvements, and got an Editor's Choice award from Forest Science. Uses Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) data. 🌲 🍁🧪
