New Restoration Strategies Need to be Considered for Building Resilient Forests, Experts Say

For many, an ideal forest is one that looks the same as it did before European colonizers arrived. As today's forests are hit with disturbances like fire, drought, and insect invasions, restoration efforts often attempt to nudge the landscape back to this 'natural' state. But historical conditions are becoming increasingly hard to achieve in a changing world, according to new research.

Caribou and Muskoxen Help Mitigate the Effects of Climate Change on Rare Arctic Plants

Being common is rather unusual. It's far more common for a species to be rare, spending its existence in small densities throughout its range. How such rare species persist, particularly in an environment undergoing rapid climate change, inspired a 15-year study in arctic Greenland from the University of California, Davis.
