File text/texmacs Responding to Climate Change on National Forests: A Guidebook for Developing Adaptation Options
by Web Editor — published Mar 24, 2012 — last modified Aug 26, 2013 10:12 AM — filed under: , ,
From the USDA Forest Service, comes a recently published guidebook for climate change adaptation in national forests. It provides a state-of-science summary of principles of adaptation, methods for vulnerability assessment, and tools and processes to facilitate the development of adaptation strategies and tactics. Distributed to all 176 national forest units, the guidebook is being used throughout the Forest Service and by other agencies to integrate climate change in sustainable resource management.

File Restoration of Ailing Wetlands
by Web Editor — published Mar 24, 2012 — filed under:
It is widely held that humankind’s destructive tendencies when exploiting natural resources leads to irreparable harm to the environment. Yet, this thinking runs counter to evidence that many ecological systems damaged by severe natural environmental disturbances (e.g., hurricanes) can restore themselves via processes of natural recovery. The emerging field of restoration ecology is capitalizing on the natural restorative tendencies of ecological systems to build a science of repairing the harm inflicted by humans on natural environment. Evidence for this, for example, comes from a new metaanalysis of 124 studies that synthesizes recovery of impacted wetlands worldwide. While it may take up to two human generations to see full recovery, there is promise, given human will, to restore many damaged wetlands worldwide

File RFA 6 - Understanding Land Use and Climate Change in the Appalachian Landscape - Word Doc
by Web Editor — published Mar 01, 2012 — last modified Aug 27, 2013 09:54 AM — filed under:
The APLCC intends to understand and address major environmental and human-related vulnerabilities of species as it relates to climate change stressors and develop adaptation strategies in response to climate change. This project will identify species and habitats vulnerable to climate change impacts, and describe vulnerabilities in sufficient detail to inform conservation partners who can then plan adaptive management responses, and compile a tabular, geo-referenced database for the Appalachian LCC website with a list of species/communities by taxonomic group/province identified as most vulnerable using the methodology determined to be of highest quality and best suited to the need of the Appalachians.

Rio Grande National Forest Adaptation Workshop
by Rhishja Cota — published Oct 31, 2022 — last modified Oct 31, 2022 03:20 PM — filed under: , , , , , ,
There is an increasing need to consider the anticipated effects of climate change on ecosystems and identify management actions that respond to these changes. This workshop will support participants from the Rio Grande National Forest in determining which climate impacts are of greatest concern to them, and identify management opportunities for adapting to change. The Adaptation Workbook provides a structured process for integrating climate change considerations into management planning and activities.

File Rising to the Urgent Challenge Strategic Plan for Responding to Accelerating Climate Change
by Web Editor — published Mar 30, 2012 — last modified Aug 27, 2013 09:29 AM — filed under:
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service climate change strategy, titled “Rising to the Urgent Challenge: Strategic Plan for Responding to Accelerating Climate Change,” establishes a basic framework within which the Service will work as part of the larger conservation community to help ensure the sustainability of fish, wildlife, plants and habitats in the face of accelerating climate change. The plan is implemented through a dynamic action plan that details specific steps the Service will take during the next five years to implement the Strategic Plan.
