This panel discusses the current composition and structure of American forests with a focus on regenerating desirable forests that can be resilient to stressors such as insects and disease, as well as broader climate impacts. Topics include species stock selection, assisted migration of tree species, mesophication, and how changes in forests are likely to impact wildlife species and their habitat.
Panelists include Tony D'Amato, University of Vermont, Olivia LeDee, Midwest Climate Adaptation Science Center, Carrie Pike, USDA Forest Service, Chuck Hunter, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
