🆕 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 doi.org/10.1002/ecs2...
Conceptual figure of postfire reorganization pathways and photo representations of pre- versus postfire differences in stand structure and composition.

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.

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. via @retoknutti.bsky.social

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...

Led by Brockton Feltman and @ARWarwick, we interviewed wild game processors in Michigan and asked about their risk perceptions of chronic wasting disease. Published in Human Dimensions of Wildlife, available here now: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Wild game processors’ perceptions of chronic wasting disease risks in Michigan
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a neurodegenerative disease that threatens deer population health and management. This qualitative study explored processors’ perception of CWD risks, and the solut....
