Long-term ecological research provides insights into ecosystem response to climate change

Vegetation structure and site topography play a significant role in burn severity patterns and tree mortality after wildfire.

Conservation of old-growth forests could help slow the negative effects of climate warming on some breeding bird populations 

The “channel-source hypothesis” proposes that the stream channel itself should be considered as a potential source of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to stream water during storms.

New findings indicate that future climate conditions will increase vertical and downslope moisture loss from forest plantations, which represent a large fraction of forest cover of the Pacific Northwest of the USA.
