Snow refugia: Managing temperate forest canopies to maintain winter conditions Climate change is reducing snowpack across temperate regions with negative consequences for human and natural systems. Because forest canopies create microclimates that preserve snowpack, managing fo...

How do #forests influence #snowpack dynamics in the northeastern US? Check out our new paper led by @lispastore.bsky.social and Dr. Nelson (@appmtnclub.bsky.social) published in @esajournals.bsky.social: esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/.... Hint: mixedwood forests = snow refugia.

Bulk density calculation methods systematically alter estimates of soil organic carbon stocks in United States forests - Biogeochemistry Soils are the largest terrestrial carbon sink on Earth, yet substantial uncertainty in the size and stability of this pool remains. Much of this uncertainty stems from the characterization of bulk den...
