Abstract

Aspen and climate change: Recent mortality portends bad news

William R. L. Anderegg

I grew up camping, fishing, and hunting in the aspen forests of southwestern Colorado. When I returned to these forests for my Ph.D. research, however, I saw that broad regions of the forests I remembered were dying, white-bark skeletons standing still against the blue mountain sky. I remember staring in shock at these forests and thinking, “What is going on here? What does this mean for the future of aspen?”
