Seeding Ecosystems of the Future

Climate change is impacting the distribution of biodiversity across time and space. Our gardens can be incredibly useful tools to support biodiversity conservation, such as by supporting native plant and wildlife populations and by reducing the spread of invasive species. In this talk, Evelyn Beaury, Ph.D., will discuss how climate change is affecting species distributions, and what types of organisms might be most likely to track their preferred temperature ranges. She will then discuss how gardens can help seed ecosystems of the future, including the research and resources Beaury and her colleagues have developed in order to support biodiversity-positive decisions in our green spaces.
