#Stanford led study reveals a fifth of #California #SierraNevada #ConiferForests are stranded in #habitats that have grown too #warm for them. The researchers created #maps showing where #warmer #weather has left #trees in conditions that don’t suit them, making them more prone to being replaced by other species. The findings could help inform long-term #wildfire and #ecosystem #management in #ZombieForests. #ClimateCrisis #GlobalHeating #Wildfires #forests https://news.stanford.edu/2023/02/28/zombie-forests/
