In an effort to quantify the impact climate change is having on California forests, new CECS research using remote sensing data shows that California forests have sustained a net loss of 6.7% of tree cover since 1985. This research may play a major role in expanding our ability to manage lands, allowing forests to continue to provide natural climate solutions, and in developing more in-depth and accurate datasets for vegetation cover.
UCI CLEWS Group Researcher Unveil Disturbing Findings on Arctic and Boreal Ecosystem Instability
Arctic and boreal latitudes, among Earth's most sensitive regions, are experiencing unprecedented changes as a result of climate warming. In three groundbreaking studies led by CLEWS Earth system scientists at UCI, the profound transformations occurring in these...
