Program: How Trees and Understory Plants are Responding to Climate Change in the Klamath Mountains
Thursday, November 21, 7pm
Speaker: Erik Jules
Location: Live Virtual Presentation at our Chapter Meeting at Southern Oregon University, Ashland

Erik’s talk will focus on two studies. The first is a study of how climate change may be impacting understory plants of our region. And the second will focus on how the dominant conifers are responding to decades of fire suppression and climate change.

Erik is a Professor Biology at Cal Poly Humboldt in Arcata, CA. He has been conducting research in southwestern Oregon and northern California for more than 30 years. Some of his past work has been focused on western trillium, Port Orford cedar, serpentine fens, and tree communities of the region.Erik was an undergraduate at Ithaca College and completed his PhD at the University of Michigan. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, Santa Cruz before joining the faculty at Humboldt State University in 2000.

Erik will be remote and zoom in to our in-person chapter meeting taking place at Southern Oregon University, Science Building, Room 161. Join us in person for a watch party, or watch from home. To register for the zoom: https://bit.ly/npsotalks.
