A mixed-effects model using forest and site variables will be developed to estimate forest-type-specific predictions of aboveground live forest carbon for federal lands in the southern Appalachia region. The models and metrics can be used by landowners and forest practitioners and further extended to other regions in the country.
Learning Objectives:
describe the mixed-effects modeling approach proposed to quantify aboveground live forest carbon in national parks and forests of southern Appalachia.
list the key forest and site variables identified as the best predictors in quantifying aboveground live forest carbon for mixed-species forests.
describe the ways in which the current proposed model can be further adopted in other forest settings or regions.
