Giant Sequoias: a Climate Change Resilient Ecosystem?

Learn how giant sequoias are suffering from climate change induced drought in this video from NATURE: Yosemite. The sequoias provide a ray of hope, as they may be more resilient to long term drought than the rest of the Sierra Nevada. In the accompanying classroom activity, students conduct an inquiry-based investigation of the effects of anthropogenic environmental changes on plant growth.
