Trees in the western United States are dying twice as quickly as they did three decades ago and scientists think global warming is to blame.In their surveys, ecologists found that a wide range of tree species were dying including pines, firs and hemlocks and at a variety of altitudes. The changes can have serious long-term effects including reducing biodiversity and turning western forests into a source of carbon dioxide as they die and decompose. That could lead to a runaway effect that speeds up climate change.'The trend was pervasive across a wide variety of forest types, across all elevations, in trees of all sizes and among major species,' said Phillip van Mantgem of the US Geological Survey (USGS). 'At the same time, the rate of new establishment of trees didn't change.'If these trends continued, he said, forests will become sparser and store less carbon. 'It introduces the possibility that western forests could be come net sources or carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, further spe

The majestic old-growth forests of western North America, greening patches of the landscape from Arizona to British Columbia, may be far more vulnerable to subtle climate change than scientists previously believed. A study published today in the journal Science reveals that these western forests are dying at faster rates as regional average temperatures climb more rapidly than the global average. [More]

Biologists have long noticed that global warming is causing springtime flowering and ice melting to arrive earlier, but a new study shows that the seasonal cycle has also shifted, causing summer's peak temperature and winter's lowest temperature on land to arrive nearly two days earlier than was true 50 years ago. The cause is unknown, but researchers suspect it involves changing wind patterns over land and ocean, or drier soils.
