- Forest management and climate change.
http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/hre/pubs/pubs/0186.htm
Forest management decisions made now will effect forests many decades into the future. Thus it is important for managers to take account of how forests may respond to future climatic conditions. Unfortunately, the picture of what the climate will be at specific locations and times in the future is not clear. Even less clear is the picture of how organisms will respond. Consequently, management actions to address climate change must be flexible and such that they do not compromise the health of the forest should the climate not change as predicted. Actions will further be complicated by differing values placed on forests by society, disagreement on whether impacts of climate change are positive or negative, and the priority of governments for addressing other impacts. Also, there will be increased pressure to manage forests to offset emissions from the burning of fossil fuel and to moderate the effects of climate change on non-timber resources. Incorporating responses into forest management planning require ...

- Adapting Forest Management to the Impacts of Climate Change in Canada.
http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/hre/pubs/pubs/1390.htm
This report identifies a range of ways that climate change may impact human and economic systems (e.g. market impacts, land use change, availability and cost of raw material supply, change in habitat and our ability to preserve ecosystems in fixed boundary parks, etc). It does not however focus on the role of Canadian forests in sequestering carbon, as this has been covered in detail elsewhere. The report also considers factors that may influence our capacity to adapt. These factors include inherent features and properties of social systems (such human capital and social capital), policy and institutional factors, and awareness and processes by which risk perceptions are socially constructed. The ultimate goal is to isolate the most vulnerable systems and regions, and to understand why these systems and regions are vulnerable so that impacts of climate change on vulnerable elements of Canadian society can be reduced. This report provides a synthesis of conceptual approaches that can be used to assess vulne ...
- 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 ...
- Climate change impacts and adaptation in forestry.
http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/hre/pubs/pubs/1395.htm
Current changes in climate are already affecting forest species. Future climate change will bring greater changes in range of occurrence, forest disturbance and growth rates. These changes in turn will affect society’s ability to use forest resources. We already take account of climate in forest management; in the future we will have to apply these techniques with a greater intensity and in different areas. Climate change adaptation strategies for the forest management sector should be based on the application of vulnerability assessment or risk management concepts. An adaptation plan must address biophysical and socio-economic impacts and include policy and institutional considerations. We will need to evaluate current vulnerability, speed recovery after disturbance, and reduce vulnerability to further climate change. The adaptation plan should include monitoring the state of the forest to detect change to aid determining when to intervene. An example of using this framework to adapt to changing forest pr ...
- 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 ...
