Birds are Moving North Too See http://www.boston.com/news/science/articles/2009/02/10/amid_warming_birds_shift_north/ Birds as well as trees and forests will slowly adapt to a warming planet or a cooling one too if that’s the case. For us foresters, it makes sense to promote those mid tolerant to tolerant species that naturally tend to become dominants and codominants with a wide range. Around my neck of the woods that would be mostly red oak and white pine. We can make forests more adaptable to climate change by using the appropriate silviculture to increase the proportion of these more adaptable species while also trying to keep our forests as diverse as possible. Man will adapt too; we always have.
