Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Management Options

A Guide for Natural Resource Managers in Southern Forest Ecosystems
Herausgeber: Vose, James M; Klepzig, Kier D

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of forest management options to guide natural resource management in the face of future climate change. Topics include potential climate change impacts on wildfire, insects, diseases, and invasives, and how these in turn might affect the values of southern forests that include timber, fiber, and carbon; water quality and quantity; species and habitats; and recreation. The book utilizes the most relevant science and brings together science experts and land managers from various disciplines to combine science, models, and on-the-ground experience to develop management options.
