  • Integrating climate change adaptation into forest management.
    http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/hre/pubs/pubs/1394.htm
    Future climate change will affect society's ability to use forest resources. We take account of climate in forest management and this will help us adapt to the effects of climate change on forests. However, society will have to adjust to how forests adapt by changing expectations for the use of forest resources because management can only influence the timing and direction of forest adaptation at selected locations. There will be benefits as well as loses and an important component of adaptation will be balancing values. Adaptation options to respond to impacts on the timber supply in Canada for the next 50 to 100 years are limited mainly to forest protection and wood utilisation because these forests are already in the ground. Adaptation through reforestation will focus on commercial tree species. It is important to start developing adaptation strategies now. These include assessing forest vulnerability to climate change, revising expectations of forest use, determining research and educational needs, dev ...

  • Adaptation to climate change in forestry management: challenges and responses.
    http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/hre/pubs/pubs/1396.htm
    Future climate change will bring changes in the range of occurrence of species, in forest disturbance and in forest growth. These changes in turn will affect society's ability to use forest resources. We already take account of climate in forest management and utilize many of the activities that will be required to respond to the effects of climate change on forests. However, many forest ecosystems and species will have to adapt autonomously because management can only influence the timing and direction of forest adaptation at selected locations. In general, society will have to adjust to however forests adapt. There are numerous challenges that will need to be address in developing and applying adaptive action. These include revising expectations of forest use, determining research and educational needs, development of forest policies to facilitate adaptation, and determining when to implement responses. It is important to start now assessing forest vulnerability to climate change and developing adaptatio ...
