Climate Adaptation Concepts for Forest and Ecosystem Management

In this presentation, Patricia Leopold outlines the concepts of resistance, resilience, and transition that serve as the fundamental options for land managers to consider when responding to climate change. NIACS and partners have translated these broad concepts into tangible strategies and approaches relevant to natural resource management and planning with the development of topical menus of adaptation strategies and approaches. Each menu builds upon the climate adaptation concepts of resistance, resilience, and transition, described by Millar et al. (2007).
