The global rise in temperature and associated changes in climate have led to decline of forests around the globe. A particularly severe example of this is yellow-cedar (Callitropsis nootkatensis) decline along the coast of British Columbia and Alaska, where anthropogenic climate change has led to reduced insulating snowpack, leaving yellow-cedar roots vulnerable to thaw-freeze events, resulting in freezing damage to roots and water stress during the subsequent growing season. Yellow-cedar ...
