This student-led field-based, research quantifies the impacts of different forest management techniques on aboveground biomass and long-term forest resilience in the northern and central Sierras, and Coast Redwood region of California.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion, participants will be able to will demonstrate the ability to integrate carbon management principles into practical forest management strategies, particularly in the context of California's forested landscapes, by analyzing the impacts of different forest management techniques on aboveground biomass and carbon storage
Upon completion, participants will be able to evaluate the effectiveness of various forest management techniques in mitigating large-scale disturbances such as wildfires and enhancing long-term forest resilience in the Sierra Nevada Mountain region and the Coast Redwood region of California, using Forest Inventory Analysis data, the Forest Vegetation Simulator modeling platform, and field-based forest inventory data
