Climate change, forests, and fire: what do current trends mean for resource management in the Sierra Nevada? was expertly presented by Hugh D. Safford, PhD, Regional Ecologist, USFS to an incredibly attentive library audience. Dr. Safford summarized trends in climatic change from the past, present, and projected future, and discussed how these interact with wildfire and other disturbances and stressors to influence terrestrial ecosystems. And he did it in a way that was entertaining.
