Show Notes

Heading up mountains throughout the Northwest is a great way of seeing how temperature and precipitation can determine which conifer species lives where, but in the Blue Mountains of Oregon, you can also track the relationship bewteen climate and conifers through time. In this episode, we follow the story of one especially important conifer over several million years using the fossils of the John Day Basin, and then embark on a road trip to the Wallowa Mountains further east to see how the same forces that drove the evolution of this species are still at work today.
