SUMMARY:Passenger Pigeons: A force of forest disturbance
DESCRIPTION:Register today! \nJuly 29\, 2021\n1:00 p.m. ET \nJoin the Consortium of Appalachian Fire Managers & Scientists to learn how this extinct species impacted forests in the U.S. \nPresentations by Dr. Ian Thompson (Tribal Historic Preservation Officer\, Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma) and Dr. Ben Novak (Lead Scientist\, Revive & Restore) will introduce the cultural and ecological significance of passenger pigeons. We’ll consider what their disappearance means in terms of ecological disturbance processes and the implications for forest and fire management today. \nFrom a TNC staffer: “After nearly 20 years in this field\, I was disappointed to find out how little I have considered this bird as such an important influence on our historic\, current\, (and future?) vegetation. \nReviewing a ton of journal articles\, I’m amazed how little attention is given to such significant disturbance factor\, compared to fire\, wind\, bugs\, and floods\, etc. \nBen paints a heck of a picture of what it was like when these birds were around and fire managers and foresters will be able to picture how it related with fire and eastern hardwood forest structure and composition.”
