Hi there,
This upcoming talk at the next meeting of the Nova Scotian
Institute of Science looks interesting.
Cheers,

Title: Is the forest moving north? Consequences for northern
communities
Date: Monday, 7 December
Place: Auditorium of the Nova Scotia Museum of Natural
History, 1747 Summer St., Halifax (entrance off parking lot)
The arctic treeline, a prominent biogeographical boundary, may be
shifting due to climate change thus affecting both regional
biodiversity and northern communities. A large research project
sought to investigate the causes and consequences of climate change
on treeline at over a dozen locations in the Yukon, Northwest
Territories, Nunavut, northern Manitoba, northern Quebec and
Labrador. Yes, the forest is moving north, although not everywhere
and not always following the same pattern.
Although there may be common processes involved in the establishment
of new trees at treeline, local factors are very important. Changes
in tree density in these areas are undoubtedly impacting northern
ecosystems and communities.
