In his forthcoming book, photographer Chuck Hemard delves deep into what remains of the longleaf pine forests of his youth
Due to the diversity of the land and vast elevation changes, hikers in Kamloops are rewarded with breathtaking views, contrasting vegetation and options for all fitness levels. Battle Bluff offers a lesson in geographical history as the Kamloops area showcases how semi-arid regions can transform into beautiful pine forests. The variety of the land demonstrates the tremendous adaptations that must be made for forest life in a desert climate.

This is how I envisioned the secret lake. I saw it as a calm, somewhat shallow little pool, with a singular tiny waterfall in the middle, falling from a small cliff that was only about 6 feet tall, surrounded by trees and rocks. I really like how it looks with the cliff sort of surrounding the lake, kind of like it’s enclosed or something. I dunno, it just feels more reserved like that. Also, I love the shape of the cliff, like it was made from multiple slabs or rock. Sorry, I just love this!
The natural environment of Guardamar del Segura, Santa Pola and the hamlet of La Marina will benefit from an investment of 1,352,000 euros from the Ministry of Agriculture, Environment and Climate Change for the restoration of the dunes and the pine forest. The tender documentation is due to be completed on March 27, and the […]

The Forest Pine is an evergreen tree that is surprisingly similar to a common fir tree on Earth. However, Forest Pine trees on Pandora are as large as those found on Earth that are hundreds of years old.
Tree rings, with their special characteristics of precise dating, annual resolution, long time series and climate sensitivity, have been widely considered a useful proxy for past climate variations. A cross section cut reveals climate-sensitive tree rings in a Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), one of the species used for soil-moisture reconstruction in inner East Asia [Credit: PENG ZHAN] Researchers at the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have given an overview on using tree rings to identify climate regime shifts in a perspective paper published in Science. In the paper, Prof. ZHANG Qi-Bin and Dr. FANG Ouya provided background in the field and discussed its advances. They also referenced a paper reporting a recent climate regime shift to a hotter and drier climate over inner East Asia, which was written by lead author ZHANG Peng from South Korea and published in the same issue of Science. "Careful attention is required when using tree rings to reconstruct a specific climate variable over a large geographical region," said Prof. ZHANG Qi-Bin. "Signals from the macroclimate must be extracted efficiently while removing the nonclimate noise embedded in the tree rings." Changes in climate have dramatic effects on natural ecosystems and human society. Less well understood is whether these changes are irreversible beyond a certain tipping point, that is, whether they represent a climate regime shift. Scientists worldwide are alarmed about the potential risks of abrupt climate changes and their impacts on ecosystems and society, yet it is still difficult to identify the exact occurrence of climate regime shifts. To judge whether climate systems undergo regime shifts from one steady state to another, scientists must understand the natural range of climate variability over a time scale that is much longer than the new regime. ZHANG Peng et al. compiled tree-ring width data from 76 sites throughout inner East Asia and successfully screened 20 sites with strong signals of summer heatwave frequency and soil moisture content. They found that the magnitude of the warm and dry anomalies compounding in the past two decades is unprecedented over the past 260 years. They further illustrated that the heatwaves and droughts became tightly coupled, which is likely caused by a pronounced enhancement of land-atmosphere coupling along with anthropogenic climate change. However, it is still challenging for scientists to disentangle the interaction of climate variables and clarify whether these interactions generate negative or positive feedbacks, according to Prof. ZHANG Qi-Bin and Dr. FANG. Furthermore, spatial differences related to climate regime shifts are worthy of study. Using tree-ring data as a proxy for past climate variability and forest dynamics, Prof. ZHANG Qi-Bin's lab has long been engaged in investigating the responses of tree growth to multiple dimensions of climate change and ecological disturbances, and in exploring spatial and temporal patterns of forest health.
