As an #actuallivingpublicservant @NRCan #CFS, I play at the nexus of science, practice and policy for adapting sustainable forest management to #climatechange. Rarely a dull day in the world of knowledge integration and collaboration building!

Our groundbreaking tree-ring study, just published in @NatureComms, uncovers compelling evidence of decreasing tree growth rates across Canadian forests from 1951-2018, linked to rising summer temperatures @cflscf @NRCan #ClimateChange #Drought #TreeRing https://t.co/O2bCiKljW2

Forests are part of a living system where carbon is continually captured from and emitted into the atmosphere.

DYK that the national equations used in Canada to estimate the aboveground biomass of individual trees are biased in the case of small black spruce from peatlands, by far the most common trees in Canada? In this new paper we fix that. See this thread 1/9 https://t.co/ofJTNgBbgE

People saying Wab’s speech didn’t sound ‘NDP’ might not know that to a lot of Indigenous folks it’s less about the political party and more of a search for the closest connection to the community values many Indigenous folks know and understand based on their cultural teachings.

Listen to #Laurier forest ecologist Jennifer Baltzer on CBC's Quirks and Quarks 🎧 https://t.co/wab521z8km

Baltzer says more frequent and intense #wildfires are changing the makeup of our boreal forests and may even result in a loss of forest cover altogether.
