This shift from cool to warm in the North Atlantic has already had an impact; this past year at least 89,000 individual fires burned 9.5 million acres in the western U.S. Worse yet, forest management practices that have increased the number of trees in western woods — as well as relatively wet preceding decades — have put in place an abundance of fuel for future fires.
Tree mortality can radically transform ecosystems, affect biodiversity, harm local economies, and pose fire risks, as well as further increase global warming.

-- 7) Forest models for Montana that account for changes in both climate and resulting vegetation distribution and patterns; 8) Models that account for interactions and feedbacks in climate - related impacts to forests (e.g., changes in mortality from both direct increases in warming and increased fire risk as a result of warming); 9) Systems thinking and modeling regarding climate effects on understory vegetation and interactions with forest trees; 10) Discussion of climate effects on urban forests and impacts to cityscapes and livability; 11) Monitoring and time - series data to inform adaptive management efforts (i.e., to determine outcome of a management action and, based on that outcome, chart future course of action); 12) Detailed decision support systems to provide guidance for managing for adaptation.
Environmentally, the fires are a double whammy: They destroy trees that help to slow global warming by absorbing heat - trapping carbon dioxide as they grow.
Direct effects of climate change on trees and forests, such as warmer, wetter conditions improving forest productivity or warmer, drier conditions increasing tree mortality, will be secondary to the impacts of altered forest disturbance regimes, such as changes in forest fire behavior and area burned.
