Reduction of snowpack may stunt tree growth and reduce CO2 sequestration

Researchers conducting a 5-year-long study examining snow cover in a northern hardwood forest region found that projected changes in climate could lead to a 95 percent reduction of deep-insulating snowpack in forest areas across the northeastern United States by the end of the 21st century. The loss of snowpack would likely result in a steep reduction of forests' ability to store climate-changing carbon dioxide and filter pollutants from the air and water.

Snowpack declines may stunt tree growth and forests' ability to store carbon emissions

The world does not need more accelerating feedbacks to AGW but, as Stephen Crane told us, the fact has not created in the Universe any sense of responsibility.

This study finds that red spruce growth has increased more than 100% since 1989 due to increased CO2 in the atmosphere...the study was done in the appalachains, but is there any reason to suspect that increased atmospheric CO2 would be having a similar effect on trees worldwide?

You criticizing anyone for their knowledge of the scientific method is about as ironic as ironic can get.

He is criticizing your lack of knowledge...it is your lack of knowledge and complete absence of critical thinking skills which leads you to being duped by that sort of pseudoscientific bullshit.

Compared to Chinese CO2 emissions, this is a rounding error. Focus!
 
So... you have no concern about the well being of the planet's flora and fauna. Got it.

Got any idea of what the ideal temperature is for the earth's flora and fauna? Any at all?
 
You have projected that the Earth will not get warmer, that sea levels will not rise, that alternative energy sources will not work, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.







Is "lying crick" your middle name? No one has made ANY of the claims you just claimed we did. We have said that man has no influence on global temperature. We have stated emphatically that hydroelectric powerplants are the bee's knee's, but that wind farms and solar farms are crap. And the fact that they can't survive without massive government subsidies proves what we say is true.

No, dear lying crick, it is YOU and your fellow anti science deniers who make the silly, non fact based claims.

ANYONE with a brain is qualified to characterize YOUR habits because they never change. You are the same lying twit now, that you were when you first showed up here. You STILL can't provide empirical evidence for any of your claims (we can) all you can do is spout off BS from propagandist websites like climate reanalyzer....

In other words, junior, step up your game because you're boring as hell.

He also has the use of logical fallacies down pat...if you have no critical thinking skills, that one is a must.
 
Trees grow better in the snow? This is truly new scientific knowledge.

I believe the effect is due to stunted growth. Perhaps you should have read the article first.

"The experiments we conducted suggest snowpack declines result in more severe soil freezing that damages and kills tree roots, increases losses of nutrients from the forest and significantly reduces growth of the iconic sugar maple trees."
Cold weather and lack of moisture stunts growth. Not thinner snow packs.
 
I guess this lacking is more common than I thought.

Snow is made from WATER Mr Mudwhistle.
