With President Trump making several significant moves on energy and environment policy in his first 100 days, how are environmental groups shifting strategy? During today's OnPoint, Howard Learner, president and executive director of the Environmental Law and Policy Center, discusses the role nongovernmental organizations will play in the climate and energy conversation over the next four years.

“Climate has long been identified as a primary control on the geographic distribution of plants (Forman 1964, Box
1981). Therefore, plant species may be expected to exhibit marked redistributions in response to climate change. 
Fossil pollen records from the Holocene period document such responses for a variety of plant species (e.g., 
Delcourt and Delcourt 1988, Malanson 1993, Williams et al. 2004). In addition, species are expected to be 
redistributed independently, forming new forest types with unique species combinations (Webb 1992, 
Williams et al. 2004).”

“Forests are shaped by climate. Along with soils, aspect, inclination, and elevation, climate determines
 what will grow where and how well. Changes in temperature and precipitation regimes therefore have
 the potential to dramatically affect forests nationwide. “
