This document discusses a study that used a process-based vegetation model (LPJ-GUESS) to simulate the dynamics of forest composition on the Olympic Peninsula since the last glacial period (~15,000 years ago), and compare the simulations to paleoecological records. The study parameterized LPJ-GUESS for 9 tree species common to the region, considering each species' shade tolerance, temperature and moisture requirements. Simulation results showed good agreement with pollen-based reconstructions of forest changes over time for most sites and elevations. However, the model did not fully capture early Holocene dominance of Douglas-fir and alder at some mid-elevation sites. The study provides insights into how tree species life histories and climate
John Hunter (on behalf of Peter Croft) of the University of New England describes how wildfires and hazard reduction burns affect both the quality and amount of fauna habitat in Australian forests and woodlands. This presentation shows that the potential deleterious impacts on fauna of increased hazard reduction targets can be mitigated only by undertaking strategic burning, protecting remnant areas of long unburnt vegetation and increasing the upper fire thresholds of some vegetation communities in fire management.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

3. Research Questions
•
How does knowledge of the life history of tree species -- regeneration,
growth, competition, mortality -- as well as the relationship between
species and climate at important life stages, improve our explanation of
the dynamic changes in forest composition since the Late Glacial period,
15,000 years ago?
4. Outline of this talk
• Paleoecology & Biogeography of Olympic Peninsula
forests
• Methods -- quantifying important bioclimatic
variables and simulating paleoecological records with
a process-based vegetation model
• Results -- Simulations compared to present and
paleo records
• What did we learn?

12. LPJ-GUESS: a process-based vegetation model
Cohorts of trees grow on patches of land (15m x 15m).
Each species is unique in its ability to establish, grow,
and die.
Continuous Climate (temperature, precipitation,
cloudiness) is the main driver.

25. What did we learn?
•
Supported the theory that energy requirements control species composition on the west
side, and moisture controls composition on the east side
•
Quantified the climatic tolerance of seedlings in terms of one specific energy-related
climate variable (Post-snow GDD) and one moisture-related variable (fraction available
soil-water)
•
Provided the first species-level test against the paleoecological record of the influence
of these climate variables
