Quantifying Ecological Impacts of Forest Ecosystem Management and Policy
Session ID#: 79943
Session Description:
Forests around the globe are experiencing change under an array of policy and management regimes interacting with rapid climate change. As decision-makers revise existing policy or conceive of new management action, it is important to quantify the ecological impacts that specific (environmental) policies and regulations have had on the landscape historically, disentangling their role from that of climate change. Using this understanding, future projections of the interactions of management and climate can help inform both climate change adaption and mitigation going forward. This session will explore new tools, methods, and results that are being used to quantify the ecological impact that management and associated laws, regulations, or policies have had or are currently having on forested ecosystems around the world. All ecosystem impacts will be considered including water, carbon, fire, structure, air, species habitat, etc. Science that has informed and supported adaptive on the ground management is especially encouraged.
