Evidence of tree migration<br />
• Using FIA data, researchers<br />
found that 11 of 15 northern<br />
tree species are moving<br />
northwards, from 20 to 100<br />
km/ century. Woodall, 2009<br />
Fast paced: basswood, s maple, yel<br />
birch, n r oak, bl ash <strong>and</strong> bt aspen<br />
Slow paced: tam, r pine, w pine <strong>and</strong><br />
nw cedar,<br />
Static: balsam fir, bl spruce, w pine,<br />
q aspen BAM <strong>and</strong> p birch<br />
Based on the centers of tree biomass<br />

each tree species.<br />

Seedling counts<br />
Note: The estimated speed of tree<br />
migration in post-glacial times was<br />
50 km/ century.<br />
Based on comparison of where trees<br />
<strong>and</strong> seedlings at each latitude class.
