Evaluating the potential impacts of climate change on forest management and planning objectives is essential to ensuring that these objectives can be met in the coming decades. Numerous factors need to be considered, however, when integrating climate change and vegetation models used in forest planning and management. Which carbon dioxide emissions scenarios might you consider? Which global climate models are applicable? Which vegetation models are most appropriate for evaluating climate impacts? Underlying each of these decision points is a need to both understand and manage the uncertainties embedded in climate and vegetation modeling.
The webinar is jointly hosted by the University of Washington Climate Impacts Group and the US Forest Service Western Wildland Environmental Threat Assessment Center.
