Summary:
- New Brunswick's forests are facing significant challenges due to climate change, including increased insect infestations, droughts, and wildfires.
- Researchers have found that the province's tree species are shifting northward and to higher elevations, with some species like balsam fir and red spruce declining in abundance.
- Adapting forest management practices, such as planting more diverse tree species and using prescribed burns, can help mitigate the impacts of climate change on New Brunswick's forests.
