The study found that temperature and photosynthetic active radiation were the two most important variables in predicting what forest landscapes may look like in the future. The uncertainties became very high after the year 2200. http://www.huliq.com/11/86375/future-forests-uncertain#comments Science forests Tue, 15 Sep 2009 12:46:21 -0500 harminka 86375 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/82108/northern-forests-dispersal-increased-due-global-warming As a result of stronger winds caused by global warming, seeds and pollen are being carried over longer distances. An increase in temperature of only a couple of degrees may increase the dispersal of plants in Northern forests and the spread of plant species into forest clearings after felling or forest fires. http://www.huliq.com/11/82108/northern-forests-dispersal-increased-due-global-warming#comments Science forests global warming Thu, 11 Jun 2009 13:45:29 -0500 harminka 82108 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/82097/forests-lose-diversity-and-species Failing to see the forest for the trees may be causing us to overlook the declining health of Wisconsin's forest ecosystems. http://www.huliq.com/11/82097/forests-lose-diversity-and-species#comments Science Environment forests Thu, 11 Jun 2009 12:28:41 -0500 harminka 82097 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/3450/76648/global-warming-destroys-forests-western-us An extensive thirty years study published in Science magazine on Thursday indicates that the trees of the western U.S. forests are disappearing at an accelerated rate. http://www.huliq.com/3450/76648/global-warming-destroys-forests-western-us#comments Science Environment forests global warming Thu, 22 Jan 2009 15:24:11 -0600 Alberto 76648 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/74278/report-reveals-diverse-recreation-needs-national-forests Hispanics often do not visit undeveloped natural areas like national forests because of a lack of information about recreation opportunities, according to a recent Forest Service report. http://www.huliq.com/11/74278/report-reveals-diverse-recreation-needs-national-forests#comments Science ecology forests Tue, 09 Dec 2008 14:23:08 -0600 harminka 74278 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/74095/options-negotiators-seeking-craft-critical-accord-forests-climate-change Leading scientists say that technical options exist to address most challenges, and that the difficult choices will involve making trade-offs among effectiveness, efficiency and equity http://www.huliq.com/11/74095/options-negotiators-seeking-craft-critical-accord-forests-climate-change#comments Science climate change forests Fri, 05 Dec 2008 08:26:19 -0600 harminka 74095 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/74049/forest-inventories-oregon-include-more-trees First report on the state provides information on biomass, carbon stocks, wood volume, biodiversity, disturbance, and more http://www.huliq.com/11/74049/forest-inventories-oregon-include-more-trees#comments Science Biodiversity Biomass forests Thu, 04 Dec 2008 07:52:57 -0600 harminka 74049 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/73719/climate-change-puts-forests-and-people-risk Large areas of forests could succumb to climate change;
