Moving up the mountain isn’t always an option
Warming-induced upslope advance of subalpine forest is severely limited by geomorphic processes. Pre-print in PNAS from Macias-Fauria and Johnson.
New paper on tree migration rates
There’s a new paper in Ecology Letters on tree migration rates by Ordonez & Williams. Jacquelyn Gill has a nice write-up with some background that discusses the McLachlan paper we refer back to so often in the Aitken lab.

Revisiting the sequencing of the first tree genome: Populus trichocarpa
Can’t wait to see a paper like Wullschleger et al. 2012 for conifers!
Sally and Molly in Branchlines
Sally and Molly Moshofsky both have articles in the latest issue of Branchlines. Molly Moshofsky works with Adaptree co-investigator Rob Kozak on the socio-economic and policy analysis side of the project. Sally summed up the AdapTree project (pp. 10-11) and Molly wrote about perceptions of climate change adaptation (pp. 12-13).
