SUMMARY:Topic Forest-assisted migration in the context of climate change adaptation: Examples from the eastern USA
DESCRIPTION:Register \nJanuary 25\, 2023\nNoon Central Time \nPresenter: Dr. Brian Palik \nThere is increasing momentum to implement conservation and management approaches that adapt forests to climate change so as to sustain ecosystem functions. These range from actions designed to increase the resistance of current composition and structure to negative impacts to those designed to transition forests to substantially different characteristics. A component of many adaptation approaches will likely include assisted migration of future climate-adapted tree species or genotypes. While forest-assisted migration (FAM) has been discussed conceptually and examined experimentally for almost a decade\, operationalizing FAM (i.e.\, routine use in forest conservation and management projects) lags behind the acceptance of the need for climate adaptation. As the vulnerability of forest ecosystems in climate change increases\, FAM may need to become an integral management tool to reduce long-term risks to ecosystem function\, despite real and perceived barriers for its implementation. In this webinar\, we will discuss the concept of operational-scale FAM and why it remains a controversial\, not yet widely adopted component of climate adaptation. We will present three case studies of operational-scale FAM to illustrate how the practice can be approached pragmatically within an adaptation framework despite the barriers to acceptance. Finally\, we will discuss a path toward advancing the wide use of operational-scale FAM.

SUMMARY:Climate change and forest management 101
DESCRIPTION:Register for this webinar \nWednesday\, January 25\, 2023\nNoon – 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time \nAlexandra Kosiba\, PhD\, will address how climate change and other stressors pose a threat to our forests and how we can think about and manage forests to bolster their resilience and adaptation to change. Kosiba will discuss how forests help us mitigate climate change by absorbing and storing carbon dioxide and the important tradeoffs we need to keep in mind. Alexandra (Ali) Kosiba is a forest ecophysiologist and Extension Assistant Professor of Forestry at the University of Vermont. As the Extension Forester\, she creates resources and conducts applied research to help woodland owners\, foresters\, and decision-makers better understand the impacts of climate change and other stressors on Vermont’s forests and management techniques to improve forest resilience. A licensed forester\, Ali serves as a regional educator on forest carbon science and management and is the state lead on the Vermont Forest Carbon Inventory. She also works on various forest health topics\, like planning and management for at-risk tree species\, land planning for maintaining critical forest services\, and forest monitoring. Before coming to UVM\, she was the Climate Forester for the State of Vermont\, Department of Forests\, Parks and Recreation – and the first climate forester in the nation.
