Description

Hearing about climate-driven plant community changes takes on new meaning when they name names of the passengers who might not be boarding the flight to the future. A recent paper by Hollingsworth et al. (2013) does just that, analyzing fire severity and post-fire physical environments with species response to name species that may fare better or worse with predicted changes in Alaska’s fire regime.
