Now it&#8217;s not that that&#8217;s  going to happen all at once, but once you get a climate that doesn&#8217;t have enough moisture there any more to support a forest, you&#8217;ll see a transition.<br \/>\nFirst you lose the white spruce.  It&#8217;s unable to regenerate without enough moisture there.  So aspen will hang in and we&#8217;ll see a transition from what we have is a mixed wood forest there today to a more uniform aspen forest throughout the north. And then if the warming progresse,  especially under the worst case scenarios, even the aspen will begin to drop out and there will be an expansion of grasslands.  <\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nDr. Rick Schneider compares these eco region changes to those of six thousand years ago.\n<\/p>\n<p><b><em><br \/>\nLearn more at InnovationAnthology.com <\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nI\u2019M CHERYL CROUCHER <\/b>\n<\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\nThe report is called \u201cAlberta\u2019s Natural Sub Regions Under a Changing Climate \u2013 Past, Present and Future\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ccemc.ca\">Climate Change and Emissions Management Corporation<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/ian_CCEMC-B_RGB_FullName_logo.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02013-10-22<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can you imagine Alberta with prairie extending all the way north into Wood Buffalo National Park?
