Every year thousands of sockeye salmon meet their end in Hansen Creek, whether from old age or at the paws and jaws of a brown bear.

In total, professors, researchers and students have tossed about 295 tons of salmon here over the last 20 years.

American chestnuts used to be unique and beautiful trees, but tragically, they were almost entirely wiped out when an invasive blight fungus was accidentally introduced to the United States in the late 1800s.

Can #biotech bring them back?

Human-caused climate change is melting glaciers, increasing wildfires, and shifting vegetation across vast landscapes.

Until now, however, no analysis had examined climate change trends across all 417 U.S. national parks.

Climate change is here. In southern forests, it takes the form of novel disturbances – different frequency and severity of drought, fire, wind storms, insect outbreaks, even ice storms – or a combination of these stressors.

Although we commonly (and correctly) consider fall coloration as an aging or senescence process leading to leaf death and eventual leaf shedding, the glory of intense fall foliage color begins long before autumn with healthy leaves.

"It was like we were Johnny Appleseeds: We’d scatter like a covey of quail and go to four different states. And it wasn’t just about hunting or timber: Some landowners were just excited about restoring this historic, iconic landscape.”

Multiple hazardous events are considered cascading when they act as a series of toppling dominoes, such as flooding and landslides that occur after rain over wildfires.

For the first time in history, more than 50 percent of the world’s population lives in a city. By 2050, that number is expected to climb to 70 percent. Forests are helping us to reshape and reimagine our cities for the future. via #forestproud

The U.S.D.A. Forest Service is accepting grant applications for projects that expand wood product and wood energy markets, reduce wildfire risk, and improve forest health. Applications will be accepted through Jan. 23, 2019.

“Biochar is one of many products that we make from forest resources,”forest researcher Nate Anderson said. “The idea of carbonizing our forests does not capture the spirit of the research that’s going on right now.” #ForestProductsWeek

[Society of American Foresters @foresters]

To celebrate #BioenergyDay, we recommend learning more about woody biomass & sustainable forest management. This recent article in the Journal of Forestry explores how forest-based #bioenergy can benefit rural communities. #openaccess #forestproductsweek https://t.co/HFMW0z1AfN

[State Foresters @StateForesters]

In addition to #ForestProductsWeek, today is also #NationalBioenergyDay! #Bioenergy markets support jobs, sustain healthy forests, and provide power. Check out this video from @forestservice showcasing the importance of local renewable wood energy markets: https://t.co/s6qruAZrp4

[USDA Forest Service @forestservice]

At the USDA Forest Service, we work year round to create new opportunities for wood products that contribute to diversified rural economies and support sustainable forest management. https://t.co/YiV8Mf3sZR #ForestProductsWeek
