Forest land managers face the challenges of preparing their forests
for the impacts of climate change. However, climate change adds a
new dimension to the task of developing and testing science-based
management options to deal with the effects of stressors on forest
ecosystems in the southern United States. The large spatial scale
and complex interactions make traditional experimental approaches
difficult. Yet, the current progression of climate change science
offers new insights from recent syntheses, models, and experiments,
providing enough information to start planning now for a future
that will likely include an increase in disturbances and rapid
changes in forest conditions. Climate Change Adaptation and
Mitigation Management Options: A Guide for Natural Resource
Managers in Southern Forest Ecosystems 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 also considers southern forest carbon sequestration,
vulnerability to biological threats, and migration of native tree
populations due to climate change. This book utilizes the most
relevant science and brings together science experts and land
managers from various disciplines and regions throughout the south
to combine science, models, and on-the-ground experience to develop
management options. Providing a link between current management
actions and future management options that would anticipate a
changing climate, the authors hope to ensure a broader range of
options for managing southern forests and protecting their values
in the future.
