Des gestes illégaux à l’endroit de blanchons
Un nombre anormalement élevé de blanchons est observé depuis une semaine sur les plages de la Gaspésie et des Îles-de-la-Madeleine.

Don't forget that this is considering a species distribution model (SDM) When using a multimodel approach, which includes both SDM and process-based models, iy appears that aspen might take advantage of increased climate-induced disturbances. Up to a certain point...

Recent climate change strongly impacted the population dynamic of a North American insect pest species
Climate change is redefining the dynamics of forest ecosystems globally, particularly through its impact on forest pest populations such as the spruce budworm (SBW, Choristoneura fumiferana [Clem.]), ...

➡️ Changing pest distributions impact forest health & management
➡️ Increased defoliation risks in new areas
➡️ Need for proactive strategies to reduce vulnerability

3/ 🌎 Most importantly, climate change is a bigger driver of SBW dynamics than landscape changes!
This means forest ecosystems are being reshaped faster than we expected, requiring adaptive management strategies.

2/ 📈 Key findings (1950–2022):
📍 +68 km northward shift of suitable climate conditions (up to 200 km in some areas!)
⏳ Earlier phenological events & higher reproduction rates in the north
❄️ Increased winter mortality in the south due to warmer temperatures
