Subject: [HubbardBrookISE] abstartc submission to NH Water and Watersheds
meeting, March 18, 2016

 

Dear ISE,

I submitted the following abstract on our behalf to the New Hampshire Water
and Watersheds meeting
(https://www.plymouth.edu/center-for-the-environment/2016-nh-water-watershed
-conference/) .  This is a meeting of regional land managers and
environmental practitioners, and should be a good group to network for our
round table.  If invited to present, I would discuss ice storms in general,
the work around the 1998 ice storm, and outline our project with preliminary
results from Katherine's work, and perhaps the resample plots.  It's an
opportunity to get the word out!

Why Ice Storm Aren't Cool: New Research at the Hubbard Brook Experimental
Forest

 

Ice storms are powerful winter weather events that cause major disruption to
forests, towns and cities throughout the northeast.  Current research
suggests that ice storms will increase in frequency and severity with
climate change.  Although these storms are most recognized for their
catastrophic short-term damage due to branch breakage and toppling of trees
under heavy ice loads, they also have longer-lasting legacies on forest
growth, species composition, forest pests and pathogens, water quality, and
fire fuel loads.  Despite their influential role in water and watersheds,
our understanding of ice storms and their impacts remains limited, largely
because these storms remain hard to predict and scientists don't know when
or where they will next occur.  We report here on a new study where
scientists are using a suite of tools at the Hubbard Brook Experimental
Forest, NH, including creating artificial ice storms, to study the
possibility that ice storms will increase in frequency and severity over the
coming years, and the short and longer term impacts of these storms on
northern hardwood forests.
