Professor Bruhn has spent 50 years studying the region (specialist in mycology). He's already seeing white oaks (key wildlife food source) declining; extreme rain and flooding also stressing soils and trees; hotter summers already powering root diseases.

University of Missouri-Columbia research associate professor ermeritus of forest health and mycology, Johann Bruhn, says climate change is already affecting Ozark forests.
