Can California’s toughest oaks help its forests survive climate change? — and more UCLA media

The Los Angeles Times covered efforts to restore California’s disappearing oak canopy, including a partnership that utilizes research by Victoria Sork, director of the UCLA Mildred E. Mathias Botanical Garden and a distinguished professor of ecology and evolutionary biology. Sork’s lab is sequencing oak DNA to identify trees best equipped to survive a hotter, drier climate. The goal: to use their acorns to grow a more resilient generation of oaks. Read more about UCLA in today’s Smithsonian magazine, CBS News and others.
