I like the strategy that you propose. How = do we mobilize the human processes to protect forest processes? That is = something that I hope the hemlock question will bring us closer to = achieving. At the same time, I would like to be optimistic that the = Eastern Hemlock can continue to play an important function in the = forests of the future. There is so much we don=E2=80=99t know about how = the adelgid will fare in Nova Scotia.=20 I will pass your comments on to the speaker. If you are not able to come = to the meeting, I will certainly bring them up. I should mention that = the Mersey-Tobeatic Research Institute is in the process of holding = meetings in the western end of the province about the Hemlock Woolly = Adelgid. Information can be found on their Facebook and web pages.=20 The link to the thesis was also very informative and I look forward to = reading more of it. Thanks, John K. =20 From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca = [mailto:naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca] On Behalf Of Nick Hill Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2018 12:17 To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Notice of Meeting on Hemlock Woolly Adelgid =20 Hi John and John I don't doubt that the woolly adelgid will kill hemlock trees and that = is change and unwelcome. Let us first put it in a North American context with climate change and = atmospheric N deposition. We can research the impact that has occurred where the pest has moved = through from Virginia through New England. And then we can look at stand vulnerability factors. We stand to lose = trees and some stands. The outbreaks will be heterogenous: stands = receiving more N in SW Nova could be more affected. Cool ravines should = be less affected. Stands near the coast may be less affected because = there has been less temperature change over the past 30 y.=20 =20
