Climate Adaptation in Northeastern Forests to Support Birds of Conservation Concern and Ecosystem Services

Climate change, invasive species, and diseases are threatening Northeastern forests, with consequences for bird populations and carbon storage. Researchers supported by this Northeast CASC project will evaluate whether already-implemented climate adaptation strategies in the region have been effective at protecting bird habitat and what the implications of carbon storage have been. The analyses will result in refined adaptation strategies and recommendations for Tribal, federal, and state resource managers to steward forests under changing climatic conditions. Climate change and related threats like invasive species and diseases are impacting forests and birds of the Northeast. Across the region, managers at Tribal,...
