SUMMARY:Lisa Lofland Gould Program - Forests in a Changing Climate: Impact on Trees and Ecosystems
DESCRIPTION:Forests in a Changing Climate: Impacts on Trees and Ecosystems with Dr. Ali Kosiba\n \nLisa Lofland Gould Program\nThis program is underwritten by the Lisa Lofland Gould Native Plant Program Fund and sponsored by Rhode Island Wild Plant Society\,  Rhode Island Natural History Survey and University of Rhode Island Master Gardener Program.  \nSaturday\, December 6\, 2025 \n1:00 pm – 3:30 pm \nAvedesian Hall\, Room 170\, Pharmacy Building \n7 Greenhouse Road \nKingston\, RI \ndriving & parking directions \nJoin Dr. Ali Kosiba\, forest ecophysiologist and Extension Assistant Professor of Forestry at the University of Vermont\, for a talk on how climate change is reshaping our forests. How are climate-driven shifts already underway\, from warmer winters to more frequent extreme weather\, affecting tree physiology\, health\, and survival? What do these tree-level impacts mean in terms of broader forest ecosystem responses\, including carbon storage\, wildlife habitat\, and long-term forest resilience? \nAt the University of Vermont Dr. Kosiba leads the Extension Forestry Program and serves as the State Extension Forester. Her work focuses on bridging research and practice\, helping landowners\, professionals\, and the public understand forest ecology and sustainable management. Her research and outreach center on tree responses to climate change\, forest carbon dynamics\, and ecosystem processes. She serves as a regional educator on forest carbon science and management\, leading the Vermont Forest Carbon Inventory. Additionally\, she addresses forest health challenges\, including conservation planning for at-risk tree species\, maintaining critical forest services\, and long-term forest monitoring. \nFree and open to the public. Come learn and network!  \nRegister Below \n  \nSchedule – doors open at 1:00 pm\, program at 1:30 pm followed by discussion and refreshments until 3:30 \n \n\n
