Find Adaptation and Vulnerability Assessments and Reports, Case Studies and Tools to help assess climate change impacts relevant to the region and resource area that you work within.

Forest productivity will increase during the next several decades in the absence of significant stressors

Submitted by dshannon on

Some studies have examined the impact of climate change on forest productivity within the region, but they disagree on how other factors such as species composition, stand age, disturbance, or pollution may interact to influence productivity. Changes are not expected to be consistent within a species, and the diversity of forest conditions across the landscape suggests that changes will be spatially variable.
