A new book provides land managers and policy makers with key information about the potential impacts of climate change on southern forest ecosystems. Sarah Farmer, USDA Forest Service | Snapshot : Resource managers and policy makers require new insights into the implications of a rapidly changing climate on forest ecosystems and their values, and new approaches to managing natural resources in response to climate change. A new book blends forest management, forest ecology, forest hydrology, wildlife and fisheries sciences, social and economic sciences, climate change, and modeling expertise, to provide science-based management options that can be applied and tested on the ground. It is the only integrated science-based analysis and description of management options available to natural resource managers, policy makers, and scientists for southern forests.
