Public surveys say that the city’s 10,542 acres of urban forests have never been more important to people. But despite these impressive metrics, there has been no long-term strategy in place for their management—until now. The city’s forests, especially its younger trees, face increasing threats from invasive species and climate change. The nonprofit Natural Areas Conservancy and the Park Department have just released a plan to take New York’s urban forests into the next century.</span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(76, 76, 76); font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Article:</span><span style="color: rgb(15, 163, 109); font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;"> </span><a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001T1tpVMlhP0c_J8i1NNSLcyowS6jNCHsDuDYQuCdCOoi7qstlgCR2VdcHaCoq4-8rwNRJILK3AJwCPErNNF2bBo2bHNTBCzl6ssWnoDj4GWz8Vu1d7reNA0Wilx1KQk_2WYXawcij1wQ12JKvw7FbgfvtaWkLww972AOI2choevZjbj254AosirtdnDvBlSVISYs_flSlbqwUMJ4vQv40zw==&c=Atu6MLP985QgB7Rc8P9rGGw5ZkY_U7J-1dRpU38Ox8a3ZtEvcxRguA==&ch=zyzZwxknUp2qQKicI0gW54E2j_Ivq0lneYA3SXvv1DotmuH33P6uTw==" style="color: rgb(100, 152, 58); font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">The New York Times</a></div></div></div>

But the Interior Department is now reinterpreting the act with a legal memorandum stating that “incidental take,” or activities that harm birds unintentionally, is no longer covered. In this article, Amanda Rodewald, Director of Conservation Science at Cornell Lab of Ornithology, explains how this new interpretation could leave millions of birds vulnerable to companies, government agencies, and others that won’t be held legally responsible for their actions. </span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(76, 76, 76); font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Article:</span><span style="color: rgb(15, 163, 109); font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001T1tpVMlhP0c_J8i1NNSLcyowS6jNCHsDuDYQuCdCOoi7qstlgCR2VdcHaCoq4-8r5x_S-dsnoJ9VbWpLpOg0j7s6bn3SxvX_nbwa8fys3-CPsYWgHKby_bAP2_IfpmKLoLDJPF4ODwV8NbNRlSm6k3O66b0V4_-1CCU_-VzmSzSLOWD87DtETFMGjasEgYNlzW1I4HCokMMIK-MxPOaKhQjv1DVt9dQGkZY7HZ9jMQAa87rmarjitR3hW2s0OsimBdXNzzloo_LKBf6o_2f9fg==&c=Atu6MLP985QgB7Rc8P9rGGw5ZkY_U7J-1dRpU38Ox8a3ZtEvcxRguA==&ch=zyzZwxknUp2qQKicI0gW54E2j_Ivq0lneYA3SXvv1DotmuH33P6uTw==" style="color: rgb(100, 152, 58); font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">The Conversation</a></div></div></div>

They show that the Ojibwe and Menominee tribal forests in northern Wisconsin tend to be more mature, and have higher tree volume, higher rates of tree regeneration, more plant diversity, and fewer invasive species than nontribal forests nearby. These nontribal lands have seen significant decreases in plant diversity and suffered reduced regeneration from deer herbivory, leading to shifts in forest composition and wildlife populations. </span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(76, 76, 76); font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Article:</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001T1tpVMlhP0c_J8i1NNSLcyowS6jNCHsDuDYQuCdCOoi7qstlgCR2VdcHaCoq4-8r_nIQAb7C7voZQ1XDL4cybB3k5DQXSvRFvoP-9dtTWHj3JmV34Au8d3mlHIrXhGGdFp6rnL-CbckaFgUVBQ2CrRZEVpYVhmfu-B8gTuYdxWuNlXiGBPaoqv7Xnic2A3DrqMF_HkJkYPxirnJK44sxnMGvtqDaZIfn&c=Atu6MLP985QgB7Rc8P9rGGw5ZkY_U7J-1dRpU38Ox8a3ZtEvcxRguA==&ch=zyzZwxknUp2qQKicI0gW54E2j_Ivq0lneYA3SXvv1DotmuH33P6uTw==" style="color: #64983A; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Wisconsin Public Radio</a></div><div><span style="color: rgb(76, 76, 76); font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Abstract:</span><span style="color: rgb(15, 163, 109); font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;"> </span><a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001T1tpVMlhP0c_J8i1NNSLcyowS6jNCHsDuDYQuCdCOoi7qstlgCR2VdcHaCoq4-8rvsn32XKb3unXhAEynhOOjG-J4yyhOmbxtW3bGW-OiDEO3n5LoMm53W9Lr11a6FnlgDwMiInBc9dNvhVP2zHKlV1pSV05owMHVVoCrBHsdTk3M1IkjEZDLha9m4BpZaAg&c=Atu6MLP985QgB7Rc8P9rGGw5ZkY_U7J-1dRpU38Ox8a3ZtEvcxRguA==&ch=zyzZwxknUp2qQKicI0gW54E2j_Ivq0lneYA3SXvv1DotmuH33P6uTw==" style="color: #64983A; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Ecology and Society</a></div></div></div>

Allegheny College biologist Ron Mumme studied hooded warblers across the breeding season and found that when the need to replace feathers and to raise offspring overlapped, a majority of the birds deserted their offspring, leaving their mate responsible for all of the parenting.  </span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(76, 76, 76); font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Press Release:</span><span style="color: rgb(15, 163, 109); font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;"> </span><a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001T1tpVMlhP0c_J8i1NNSLcyowS6jNCHsDuDYQuCdCOoi7qstlgCR2VdcHaCoq4-8rlzepCMDpSpy15xOkaWBqgvtcr1AeBoalRmaBFY6xrrDhuB0UC9hRj2eqdURdqOu5_OPFZeWEFyZgVu0K-Yjd9nVGR08vgXvFg-3c5R9ozhJZOlvVscxJg-4MoWpu9AdG7G47oso1VUk=&c=Atu6MLP985QgB7Rc8P9rGGw5ZkY_U7J-1dRpU38Ox8a3ZtEvcxRguA==&ch=zyzZwxknUp2qQKicI0gW54E2j_Ivq0lneYA3SXvv1DotmuH33P6uTw==" style="color: #64983A; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">EurekAlert!</a></div><div><span style="color: rgb(76, 76, 76); font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Abstract:</span><span style="color: rgb(22, 29, 38); font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;"> </span><a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001T1tpVMlhP0c_J8i1NNSLcyowS6jNCHsDuDYQuCdCOoi7qstlgCR2VdcHaCoq4-8rSBvvQpNEE53j6RAWLhSgn0oHHjwtn9USgRpFKRUjksD4_QbI9r8AMFK78gQG40Syr1Q7BVSRb0sdeveu7-gDWEoW5vYILZ0_XznM9CvgsABP0d0IIt9v-A==&c=Atu6MLP985QgB7Rc8P9rGGw5ZkY_U7J-1dRpU38Ox8a3ZtEvcxRguA==&ch=zyzZwxknUp2qQKicI0gW54E2j_Ivq0lneYA3SXvv1DotmuH33P6uTw==" style="color: #64983A; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">The Auk: Ornithological Advances</a></div></div></div>

They found that leaves consistently had the highest mercury concentrations, bark contained intermediate concentrations, and wood had the lowest concentrations of the element. However, wood contained more mercury than leaves and bark because of its larger biomass. They also observed that mercury concentration in bark and leaves, but not in wood, differed significantly across the sites, and that conifers had higher mercury concentrations in their leaves and bark than hardwoods did. Their results will help elucidate how mercury is distributed in forest ecosystems and guide policy decisions about processing forest products.</span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(76, 76, 76); font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Abstract: </span><a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001T1tpVMlhP0c_J8i1NNSLcyowS6jNCHsDuDYQuCdCOoi7qstlgCR2VdcHaCoq4-8rqqfo9FUG-uryeFpdDnrPSfaK7zM1FrAnAh2eqmOuhVLJbaEhuKFQR1LNeKYFu7fewh1DWACSkj1IozHhu4uXVrJAqhJwXzE7qfmc8hA88sCaf_bNk3mhLljXdPFSg16oVQcFmvYCpUfjJ-2pRw6etZOtPyVpRpsr&c=Atu6MLP985QgB7Rc8P9rGGw5ZkY_U7J-1dRpU38Ox8a3ZtEvcxRguA==&ch=zyzZwxknUp2qQKicI0gW54E2j_Ivq0lneYA3SXvv1DotmuH33P6uTw==" style="color: #64983A; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">PLOS One</a><span style="font-size: 14px;"> </span></div></div></div>
