Title:
Rapid climate changes turn Minn.'s North Woods into a moose graveyard

Description:
If moose disappear from the boreal forest of northern Minnesota, as some biologists predict, they will not exit with a thunderous crash. Climate extinctions come quietly, even when they involve 1,000-pound herbivores. Experts who have studied the Northwestern moose -- Alces alces andersoni -- believe they are witnessing one of the most precipitous nonhunting declines of a major species in the modern era, yet few outside Minnesota fully appreciate the loss. © 1996-2012 E&E Publishing, LLC. 5/18/12.
