What could drought-stricken forests mean for Canada's fall foliage?
Drought-stricken parts of Canada could be in for some underwhelming fall foliage if stressed trees lose out on the energy needed to generate some of the season's most brilliant colours, experts say.
Biology professor Susan Dudley at McMaster University says trees in dried out parts of the country could see their leaves die off rather than turn red.
"I can't look at it and make a prediction for a good fall foliage season at all," she said.
