Nice to see two long-term @HubbardBrookNH datasets highlighted in Mason et al. paper published today in SCIENCE: DOI: 10.1126/science.abh3767

[Peter Groffman @PeterGroffman]

A7: Look out for the loss of the very coldest temperatures, which has been dramatic in the northeast US. These limit the range of species, including pests like the tiger mosquito or the hemlock wooly adelgid. #WarmingForestChat

Q7: What are one or two things of the key things you would tell people about how warming forests will affect their lives?

A6: Forests are changing now in complex and surprising ways. New species are moving in, some current species are dying, others are doing surprisingly well. More research is needed, especially long-term research. #WarmingForestChat

[Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists @BulletinAtomic]

Q6: Are the consequences of warming forests already happening or are they in the future? What are the experiments at @USLTER and @NSFR (and elsewhere) showing? #WarmingForestChat

[Peter Groffman @PeterGroffman]

A5: Other examples of weather whiplash include very wet years following very dry years, or years with lots of snow following years with very little snow. Very hard for ecological systems to adapt to these patterns. #WarmingForestChat

[Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists @BulletinAtomic]

Q5: In her interview with the Bulletin, @phtempler talks about the phrase “weather whiplash.” What does that mean? Is that a new phenomenon, and what is its effect on ecosystems? #WarmingForestChat

A3: Another example; snowmobilers are managing trails (e.g., removing rocks, building bridges) so that they can ride on less snow. Clever adaptations abound, but have limits. 4/4 #WarmingForestChat

A3: a season pass, or new equipment. We need to be careful with our messaging. 3/4 #WarmingForestChat

A3: For example, ski areas are getting better and better at making snow and while they appreciate the concern of scientists, they worry that talk about winter climate change can dissuade people from purchasing 2/4 #WarmingForestChat

A3:We are lucky to work with education and outreach experts who have helped us to have dialog with a diverse group of stakeholders. We have learned many interesting things about adaptation to climate change. 1/4 #WarmingForestChat

Q3: What are the implications for humans? How will warming forests affect local populations and beyond? #WarmingForestChat

[Peter Groffman @PeterGroffman]

A2 The effect of this rapid spring warming is unclear. Our current research is focusing on the “shoulder seasons” between winter and spring and between summer and fall. 2/2#WarmingForestChat

[Peter Groffman @PeterGroffman]

A2 The surprising result is that we are getting “colder soils in a warmer world” during the winter. But the lack of snow makes the soil warm up faster in the spring because dark soil absorbs heat much more than snow 1/2 #WarmingForestChat

Q2: Less snow on the ground means what for forests and forest inhabitants? #WarmingForestChat

#Excited to be participating in this next week. #WarmingForestChat

[Meera Subramanian @Meeratweets]

Shorter, warmer winters, less snow. What next for #NewEngland & other #forests? Q&A with #biologist @PamelaTempler Thursday, 6/25 at 12 EDT, from @BulletinAtomic. #WarmingForestChat. @sejorg https://t.co/QEToWPdlXO

@RiverGypsyAJ @DynamicEcology I have lots of papers because I work with great postdocs and students like AJ! Note: H-index is very limited indicator of science quality.
