Ghost Forest, Dr. Marcelo Ardon, North Carolina State University
Along the southeastern US coast, it is becoming more and more common to see large patches of dead or dying trees where healthy forests used to be. These areas are called ghost forests, and they have been recorded since at least the 1920’s. Ghost forests can be found on the Atlantic coast from New Jersey to Texas and as climate change persists, ghost forests are expected to become a more prevalent sight. But what causes this mass death of once healthy forests? What are the ecosystem impacts and can anything be done to save the trees? In this webinar, Dr. Marcelo Ardón will answer all these questions and more as he explains ghost forests and what causes them.
