Ecological Uncertainty:

Evan Larson from the UW-Platteville Geography Department will present an Yi-Fu Lecture:
Climate change, invasive species, and human land use will be examined through the case of whitebark pine, a foundational species of high-elevation western North American ecosystems. It is of extreme conservation concern due to native pests potentially released by climate change to new environments, human influences, and fire suppression. Critical examination and paleoecological data identify uncertainty.
