HOW WILL CLIMATE CHANGE AFFECT CONIFER DISTRIBUTIONS IN MOUNTAINS OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST? A STUDY OF CLIMATE, COMPETITION, AND TREE ESTABLISHMENT IN MOUNT RAINIER’S FORESTS
Ettinger AK and HilleRisLambers J. HOW WILL CLIMATE CHANGE AFFECT CONIFER DISTRIBUTIONS IN MOUNTAINS OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST? A STUDY OF CLIMATE, COMPETITION, AND TREE ESTABLISHMENT IN MOUNT RAINIER’S FORESTS. Research Permit and Reporting System
Global climate change is expected to cause continued warming and reduced snowpack in the Pacific Northwest. These changes are likely to have particularly dramatic impacts on mountain environments such as Mount Rainier National Park, which may therefore be faced with unprecedented management challenges. For example, changes in snow pack control the length of the growing season and affect soil moisture levels, and could thus have significant impacts on tree seedling establishment...
