Cover:

The intensive death of yellow-cedar (Callitropsis nootkatensis) created this "skeleton forest" near sea level in the West Chichagof–Yakobi Wilderness of southeast Alaska. Yellow-cedar decline is occurring over 250,000 hectares of coastal forest extending 1000 kilometers, or 6 degrees of latitude, in Alaska and British Columbia. The phenomenon, which has origins about 100 years ago (and many dead trees remain standing for that long), is believed to result from changing snow patterns that expose the trees' shallow and fine roots to freezing injury. Paul Hennon and his colleagues discuss yellow-cedar decline and propose a conservation and management strategy in the article that begins on p. 147. Photograph: Paul Hennon.
