An intensifying drought is putting New Mexico’s forests in danger, and if conditions don t improve, state officials warn, the risk of insect outbreaks and catastrophic wildfires will increase.
The number of acres of forest and woodlands with insect, disease, and drought-stress damage on state and private lands increased 9% in 2020 from the year before, according to the state s 2020 Forest Health Conditions Report released last week.
“Climate directly influences forest health on multiple levels,” State Forester Laura McCarthy said in a news release. “Lack of rain, warming temperatures, and an increase in carbon dioxide continually alter our forest ecosystems, increasing the risk of insect outbreaks and catastrophic wildfire.” ....

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) New Mexico’s relentless drought is stressing forests, making them more vulnerable to a widespread pest infestation that could cause a mass tree die-off if wetter weather doesn’t come, a newly released state report says.
The 2020 state report on New Mexico’s forest health looked at how extensively pests killed and damaged trees on national, state and tribal woodlands.
Drought conditions have worsened, encompassing half the state at the beginning of 2020 and then growing until every area of New Mexico was deemed in some level of drought by the year’s end, the report said. ....

Climate Change Impacting Tree Health in New Mexico


  
SANTA FE, NM – Today, the Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department (EMNRD) Forestry Division released its 2020 Forest Health Conditions Report and newly developed Story Map revealing significant impacts to trees on state and private land due to exceptional drought and warming temperatures.
According to the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, 2020 was the second warmest and fourth driest on record in New Mexico. As a result, aerial surveys conducted last year by the Forestry Division and its partner, the USDA Forest Service, found a nine percent increase in insect and drought-stress damage since the year prior.
“Climate directly influences forest health on multiple levels,” said State Forester Laura McCarthy. “Lack of rain, warming temperatures, and an increase in carbon dioxide continually alter our forest ecosystems, increasing the risk of insect outbreaks and catastrophic wildfire.” ....
