Assistant Professor of Forest Economics and Policy University of Kentucky Lexington, Kentucky, United States
Climate change will affect successional dynamics of and the performance of plantations. A better understanding of how these factors will affect forests and economies and how we can best adapt is needed. Coupled economic-forest management model estimates impacts and adaptation on timber supply and economy in New Brunswick, Canada.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participant will be able to describe how climate change impacts on plantation forests succession and wood supply in New Brunswick was conducted.
Upon completion, participant will be able to explain how the economic impacts of climate change on wood supply were assessed.
Upon completion, participant will be able to list sectoral economic impacts of climate change on forests in New Brunswick, Canada.
