Conceptual figure of postfire reorganization pathways and photo representations of pre- versus postfire differences in stand structure and composition.

🆕 in Ecosphere's "Vegetation Ecology" track: A hot & dry future may shake up Yellowstone forests—think fewer spruce, more fire-tolerant neighbors

📄Simulated postfire tree regeneration suggests reorganization of Greater Yellowstone forests during the 21st century

New paper out now in Ecosphere (esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...)! Forest landscape simulations in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem suggest that changes in postfire structure and composition, and not a conversion to non-forest, are the dominant response to future climate.

Great collaborative work bridging science and management led by @ttkeller.bsky.social !

How do changes in disturbance and regeneration interact to affect widely different temperate forest ecosystems? New insights from a simulation experiment on forest change, led by @christinadollinger.bsky.social, out now in Global Ecology and Biogeography doi.org/10.1111/geb.... #ERCresearch

Kellogg Biological Station is searching for a new Director! KBS is unique in its ability to integrate lab and field research, as well as integrating fundamental research in ecology and evolution with applications to environmental problems. Questions to me or the search chairs. Please apply!

Anthropogenic amplification of precipitation variability over the past century As the climate warms, the consequent moistening of the atmosphere increases extreme precipitation. Precipitation variability should also increase, producing larger wet-dry swings, but that is yet to b...

We’ve suspected for a long time that rainfall variability increases with warming. Now, observations are long enough and of sufficient quality to prove it. Not enough rain, and then too much, exacerbates climate impacts and makes adaptation more difficult.

Conveying results of #simulationmodels is tricky. We produced a video to help folks understand how #climatechange and #fire could affect the iconic landscape of Greater #Yellowstone. Would love to see this used for ecology classes and outreach. @ttkeller.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIp7...

Will there be opportunities for graduate students or early career folks to contribute/participate? Super interested and enjoyed hearing about this at ESA!

Led by Brockton Feltman and @ARWarwick, we interviewed wild game processors in Michigan and asked about their risk perceptions of chronic wasting disease. Published in Human Dimensions of Wildlife, available here now: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
