T hese stands occur approximately 500 km southwest of the present day paper birch range and have been present in the Niobrara Valley since the end o f the Wisconsin glaciation. Recent (15 - 20 years) dieback of canopy-siz ed trees has caused concern for the populations’ continued persistence. In this study, we continuously monitored microclimate in ten paper birc h stands since June 2005; we also assessed birch health and environmental conditions in these and other Niobrara sites. Local microclimates in th e birch sites differ from the surrounding climate as measured by a nearby weather station located in the Niobrara Valley. Initial analyses show d ifferences in microclimate among birch stands according to river location . Birch stands in the downstream portion of the study area also have a h igher proportion of dead trees than do upper river sites. Increased freq uency of spring thaws and May freezes in the Niobrara Valley from 1978-20 06 compared to 1949-1977 may partially explain Niobrara birch dieback and higher proportion of dead trees in lower river sites.
