Mid-Atlantic Forest Ecosystem Vulnerability Assessment and Synthesis: A Report from the Mid-Atlantic Climate Change Response Framework

Forest ecosystems will be affected directly and indirectly by a changing climate over the 21st century. This assessment evaluates the vulnerability of 11 forest ecosystems in the Mid-Atlantic region (Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, eastern Maryland, and southern New York) under a range of future climates. We synthesized and summarized information on the contemporary landscape, provided information on past climate trends, and described a range of projected future climates.

New England and Northern New York Forest Ecosystem Vulnerability Assessment and Synthesis: A Report from the New England Climate Change Response Framework Project

This region contains about 40 million acres of forest, which provide numerous cultural, economic, and environmental benefits. Climate change is already having an impact on the region’s forests, increasing damage from extreme precipitation events and insect pests. Future changes could dramatically alter the landscape that characterizes the region.

Seasonality and Climate Change: A Review of Observed Evidence in the United States

This EPA report describes how seasonal events in the US are impacted by climate change, and the implications of the effects on seasonality. The science behind seasonal events and how climate change can impact events are described in the main report, while the technical appendix describes the methods of evaluation and the system used to choose indicators.

Modeling land use change and forest carbon stock changes in temperate forests in the United States

Researchers created a model that predicts the probability of land-use change from forest to non-forest and carbon stocks across the US. Over 17 years, 3% of the study area shifted from forest to mixed or non-forest, with a higher probability of change in non-public forests than public forests, as well as areas closer to cities and coastal areas. This could be due to population growth and housing rates growth.

Second State of the Carbon Cycle Report

This document analyzes the patterns of the carbon cycle of North America. Sectors such as agriculture and energy, as well as ecosystems such as forests and wetlands are assessed, in addition to the impact of human activity on the carbon cycle. Carbon cycling is reported for inland and coastal water, air, and land.

Healthy Forest for Our Future: A Management Guide to Increase Carbon Storage in Northeast Forests

This management guide describes 10 forest management practices that can increase short term carbon storage for hardwood forests in the Northeast US and has general applications across many forest types. These practices also improve forest resilience against climate change impacts. These practices were chosen independently of cost, but sources of funding for each practice are also described in the guide.
