"Vegetation-climate mismatch in California's
Sierra Nevada conifer forests*"*

Talk Description

Anticipating vegetation transitions is an important but undervalued
component of long-term wildfire management and adaptation in California's
Sierra Nevada conifer forests. Vegetation transitions are more likely where
the climate has become unsuitable but the species composition remains
static. Here we produce spatially explicit estimates of these areas of
vegetation-climate mismatch (VCM) within conifer-dominated forests in the
Sierra Nevada. We find that up to 20% of conifer forests––primarily along
the lower-elevation western and southern edges of the Sierras––are in VCM,
and that there's a strong relationship between our modeled habitat
suitability and observed transitions from conifer-dominated vegetation to
non-conifer vegetation (Mixed Chaparral, Mixed broadleaf forest, etc.) over
the last century.

Bio

Avery is an ecologist and plant biologist studying human impacts on plant
distributions. He sources and contributes to large-scale plant occurrence
datasets which he uses in statistical modeling research to address
questions related to the species composition and range limits of future
forests. Ultimately, his goal is to understand the biological and ethical
determinants of where plants belong in the Anthropocene.
