Outside magazine posted an interesting story this week about recent observations of spruce trees found by scientists studying the Arctic tundra. These trees are growing in a spot that has not seen trees for the last 20,000 years. This is interesting but also concerning because it shows that the climate even in this space inhospitable to trees is changing and that means changes in ecosystems and likely changes in other parts of the globe as well. You can read more about what the scientists found and what it means for us and for the changing climate here.
