DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book will serve as a readable introduction to ecological modeling for people involved in resource management and will also review models for specific applications of interest to more experienced modelers. Successful uses of ecological models as well as discussions of important issues in modeling are addressed. The authors of this volume hope to close the gap between the state of the art in ecological modeling and the state of the practice in the use of models in management decision making.

Hosts were the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Cascade Forestry Nursery, and the USDA Forest Service. The meeting theme was Nureety Cballengee for the New Millennium. Morning technical sessions were followed by afternoon tours of the Pioneer Seed Biotechnology Labs, the Bear Creek Riparian Buffer Project area, and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources nursery. 2000: The Southern Forest Nursery Association conference, Growing Green in the New Mih'enium, was held June 26-29 at the Adam's Mark Hotel in the historic district of Mobile, Alabama. The meeting, Growing Green in the New Millennium, was hosted by the Alabama Forestry Commission. Technical sessions were followed by tours of the E.A. Hauss Nursery in Atmore and the Knud Nielson Company in Evergreen. The Northeastern Nursery Conference was held at the House on the Rock Resort in Spring Green, Wisconsin, on July 5-8. The meeting, Nurreriesfor the Future, was hosted by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the Wisconsin Nursery Association. In addition to the technical sessions, participants toured the Wilson State Nursery. Members of the Western Forest and Conservation Nursery Association conducted their meeting August 22-25 at the King Kamehameha Kona Beach Hotel in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. The meeting was hosted by the Hawaii Department of Forestry and Wildlife. Technical presentations covered operational nursery practices from around the world. Tours included the native plant nursery at Volcanoes National Park and the Kamuela State Forest Nursery. 2001: Toftrees Conference Center in State College, Pennsylvania, was the site for the Northeastern Nursery Conference held July 23-26. The meeting, Sclstainable Nurseries-Sustainable Forests, was hosted by Penn Nursery.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKForest land managers face the challenges of preparing their forests for the impacts of climate change. However, climate change adds a new dimension to the task of developing and testing science-based management options to deal with the effects of stressors on forest ecosystems in the southern United States. The large spatial scale and complex interactions make traditional experimental approaches difficult. Yet, the current progression of climate change science offers new insights from recent syntheses, models, and experiments, providing enough information to start planning now for a future that will likely include an increase in disturbances and rapid changes in forest conditions. Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Management Options: A Guide for Natural Resource Managers in Southern Forest Ecosystems provides a comprehensive analysis of forest management options to guide natural resource management in the face of future climate change. Topics include potential climate change impacts on wildfire, insects, diseases, and invasives, and how these in turn might affect the values of southern forests that include timber, fiber, and carbon; water quality and quantity; species and habitats; and recreation. The book also considers southern forest carbon sequestration, vulnerability to biological threats, and migration of native tree populations due to climate change. This book utilizes the most relevant science and brings together science experts and land managers from various disciplines and regions throughout the south to combine science, models, and on-the-ground experience to develop management options. Providing a link between current management actions and future management options that would anticipate a changing climate, the authors hope to ensure a broader range of options for managing southern forests and protecting their values in the future.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. Water from forested watersheds provides irreplaceable habitat for aquatic and riparian species and supports our homes, farms, industries, and energy production. Yet population pressures, land uses, and rapid climate change combine to seriously threaten these waters and the resilience of watersheds in most places. Forest land managers are expected to anticipate and respond to these threats and steward forested watersheds to ensure the sustained protection and provision of water and the services it provides. Contents of this report: (1) Intro.; (2) Background: Forests and Water; Climate Change: Hydrologic Responses and Ecosystem Services; (3) Moving Forward: Think; Collaborate; Act; (4) Closing; (5) Examples of Watershed Stewardship.
