Predicting Natural Disturbance Patterns in the Pacific Northwest
Process-based models can be used to look at forest disturbance by insects, disease and fire across the Pacific Northwest.
Adapt, move or die: spatially explicit assessment of climate change genetic degradation risk in forest trees
Genetic risk assessments help forest managers understand where forests are at greatest risk and to decide where to invest limited resources.
Anticipating climate change induced biome shifts for military installations
See how military installations in the State of Illinois are being used to study potential ecosystem responses to climate change.
Global tree range shifts under forecasts from two alternative GCMs using two future scenarios
A niche-modeling approach for prioritizing tree species at risk to climate change and for producing predicted range maps for many tree species.
Determining shifts in climate regimes using earth system model projections
Using multivariate spatio-temporal clustering (MSTC) model projections to determine shifts in climate regimes.
A multi-phase approach to assessing potential changes in Eastern US tree distributions
An overview of a set of tools that assess how climate change might influence tree distributions in the eastern U.S.
Providing forest managers predictions of vegetation dynamics that account for climate change
Forecasting the impacts of climate change on forests using the Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) model.
Interactions between climate, insect outbreaks, and forests
Climate drives insect outbreaks in forests; insect outbreaks can then influence climate through the carbon cycle.
Catching up with the climatologists: developing ensembles of ecological impacts models to look at climate change opportunities and challenges.
An overview of 23 climate model and their results. The use of multiple model approaches provides a range of outcomes for mangers to work from.
Integrating phenology into cross-scale risk assessments of climate change
See how climate change is affecting the phenology, or cyclical timing of tree leaf-out and wildfire in the southeastern United States.
