Link to the decade old report by Schneider on the #future distribution of #ecoregions in #alberta with details on the #modeling - basically, #scientists told us this would happen.

Thinking about #forestfires in #canada today. 10 y ago, Rick Schneider put out a report predicting what would happen to the #ecoregions of #Alberta because of 🌡️ #climatechange.
It shocked me 🤯 to see how much more #grassland there would be and how much less 🌲#BorealForest by 2050.
In 2023, I think we’re seeing how this massive #ecological transition plays out. Those trees don’t just disappear- they 🔥 #burn.
And as they burn, they release massive amounts of #carbon.

New paper in Ecological Indicators using @gbif mediated data:

Untangling key abiotic predictors of terrestrial #mammal #diversity patterns across #ecoregions and species groups in #Kenya 🇰🇪

Last night, I figured out the offending Placemarks. EcoRegion 84c includes two marshy islands In Hempstead Bay: Cinder Island and North Cinder Island. Their boundaries overlap!

I can give each its own layer in my Google Map of 84c, export as separate KMLs, then import into iNat as two small Places.

As one of the first projects of an International Collective People's Movement (https://rebrand.ly/peoples-join), which anybody can begin:

Maps of #ecoregions, comprised of local #watersheds, building on:

I'm learning about ecoregions, something I've never paid attention to. https://www.epa.gov/eco-research/ecoregions Really interesting. And by identifying the Level IV ecoregions of places I care about, it's unlocking new ways of digging around for more local info on #nativeplants. Plus, look at this gorgeous map of the 967 #ecoregions in the 48 conterminous states (also a new term to me): https://gaftp.epa.gov/EPADataCommons/ORD/Ecoregions/us/Eco_Level_IV_US.pdf
