Climate change increases risks of tree death

More severe and frequent fires and disturbances have huge impacts on landscapes. We are likely to lose forests from some areas in the Western U.S. due to these disturbances, but much of this depends on how quickly we tackle climate change.

Really hot and dry years, driven by climate change, tend to drive lots of fires, climate-driven tree mortality and insect outbreaks. Addressing climate change quickly can help keep forests and landscapes healthy.
