SUMMARY:Climate change\, disturbance\, and forest resilience\, Chaos &
  Complex Systems Seminar\, Brian Harvey\, UW Department of Zoology
DESCRIPTION:The direct and indirect consequences of climate change on 
 forests of North America are only beginning to unfold. Tree health wil
 l be directly affected by changing temperature and precipitation patte
 rns. However\, just as important are the effects of a changing climate
  on many of the natural disturbance processes such as wildfire and ins
 ect outbreaks that have shaped forest ecosystems for millennia. As tre
 es are relatively long-lived organisms\, climate-driven changes to for
 est ecosystems may be subtle until a disturbance catalyzes change and 
 sends the system along a new trajectory. This talk will include a look
  into what we can expect in western forests under new climatic and dis
 turbance regimes.<br><br>
