Associate Professor University of Maine Orono, Maine, United States
We use integrated modelling to evaluate the synergies and tradeoffs of managing 3 million hectares of uneven-aged, naturally regenerated forests in Maine, USA for timber, carbon, and wildlife benefits, subject to various socio-economic and climate change impact scenarios.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participant will be able to describe how a range of uneven age management practices will affect timber, carbon, and habitat across a diverse landscape.
Upon completion, participant will be able to weigh the benefits and costs (i.e. tradeoffs) of employing specific forest management practices in Maine.
Upon completion, participant will be able to quantify the ecological and economic values associated with a variety of silvicultural practices.
