MNPS Monthly Program: Considering Climate Change in Landscape Planning and Management Decisions by Dr. Dan Buonauito

Speaker: Dr. Dan Buonauito

Considering Climate Change in Native Plant Landscape Planning and Management Decisions

Sustainable native planting means choosing species that are suited to both current and future climates to support native wildlife, ecosystem services and to increase climate resilience. In a world that is rapidly changing, many native species are not keeping pace, potentially putting ecological communities at risk. In this session, we'll discuss larger trends in plant migrations related to climate change and explore emerging research about how people can be part of the story.

Dan Buonaiuto is an assistant professor in the Department of Plant Science and Landscape Architecture at the University of Maryland College Park and the statewide specialist in invasive plant biology at University of Maryland Extension.
