Thank you from the Forest Jim!

90th anniversary of the forest this year!

Can you please use the chat function for questions. Feel free to send to everyone or directly to me.

Question .. re the migration showing no trends in the SE US, is it related to the so-called ‘warming hole in this region prior to 2000?

Hi Jim - Does seed production depend on biogeochemical couplings like CO2 and N-fertilization that promote growth (that you consider via age/growth I.e will faster growth feed back to seeding (in addition to climate T/H2oO/light-clouds). Is this a 2nd order effect-Varies Regionlly e.g. urban forest regions? Regards, Dubey (LANL & Duke) PS Sad we lost Paul recently and Steve in his prime so happy you cited them!

Thank you so much, Jim. Really appreciate that chance to learn more about your work and its implications.

Follow up on @dubey - does it depend on air quality parameters like O3 which affect plant productivity?

Jim - great talk... My question is, given that vanishingly few tree seeds ever become trees, how do you see these shifting fecundity maps helping us forecast forest ecosystem change? Do you see relative rates of seed production as a primary driver of forest growth and composition or more as an indicator of performance that predicts relative rates of future population growth? Either way - what are the lag times here?

Can you speak to the drawdown of CO2 by forests, and how this may be affected by climate change?

Will the increases in pests, diseases, and fires exceed increased growth rates?

Jim, thanks from California! Many of your input variables are from automated sensor systems but much of your response variables seem far more manually derived. Can you speak to broad scale efforts to automate data acquisition?

thanks Jim! there are some studies in the Amazon linking forest health to human nutritional status and total caloric intake. do you know if any work like this is occurring in the US or other regions of the world?

Great series of studies and wonderful analyses

Great stuff Jim!

Thank you Jim!
