Forest Adaptation Resources: Climate Change Tools and Approaches for Land Managers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781511900164)

The forests of northern Wisconsin, a defining feature of the region's landscape, are expected to undergo numerous changes in response to the changing climate. Forest Adaptation Resources: Climate Change Tools and Approaches for Land Managers is intended to provide perspective, information, and tools to land managers considering how to adapt forest ecosystems in northern Wisconsin to a changing climate. It describes a framework for responding to climate change that creates and gathers scientific information, establishes cross-boundary partnerships between ownerships and organizations, fosters close collaboration between scientists and land managers, builds useful tools that support diverse management goals, and finally seeks to deliver the fruits of these efforts in a timely and useful manner. It provides a wide-ranging "menu" of adaptation strategies and approaches relevant to northern Wisconsin and a "workbook" process to help land managers consider ecosystem vulnerabilities, select adaptation approaches that meet their needs, and devise tactics for implementing them.
