Animal Agriculture in a Changing Climate

Tune in to hear lessons learned along with program deliverables and impacts. This webinar will also cover the issue of methane production in beef cattle and some specific techniques that either increase or decrease production per day, per body weight, and per production outcome (like weight gain).

Climate Change and Ecosystems: Lessons from the Past

How do species adapt to changing climates and how can we help them? Some of our best examples come from the end of the last ice age when the world […]

Phenological Whiplash in Lakes

This webinar will discuss how the increasing unpredictability of seasonal environmental cues in lakes will lead to mistimed ecological interactions and evolutionary selection pressures that may reduce the response diversity of ecosystems.

Healthy Soils for a Sustainable Future: Soil Health and Greenhouse Gases

The Impacts of Climate Change on Forests and Wildlife

The climate is changing, and it is impacting forests in many ways. The magnitude of continued accelerated change requires adaptation strategies aim to maintain healthy and productive forests. As forests are placed under additional stress, it is also critical that we consider how wildlife may respond to a shifting climate and important forest habitats that they depend on.

Applying a Climate Change Filter to the Coastal Resiliency Project

This workshop will bring together natural resource managers from across the lakeshore to dig into the effects of climate change on forests and forest carbon; develop strategies for adapting our forests to climate change; and work toward shared goals of diverse, healthy forests, and migratory bird habitats.
