Learning modules - Climate Change Primers
The USDA Forest Service has created comprehensive climate change education modules to help land managers better understand the basic climate change science, the effects of climate change on forest and grassland ecosystems, how we can respond to climate change with management and forest carbon science, policy, and management. Start here to learn about climate change, how it may influence land management, and what options are open to natural resource managers for responding to these changes.
EcoAdapt's Climate Adaptation Starter Kit
EcoAdapt's collection of various resources that can help practitioners navigate climate change vulnerability through to adaptation. The Adaptation Starter Kit is divided into six parts:
Chicago Wilderness region urban forest vulnerability assessment and synthesis: A report from the Urban Forestry Climate Change Response Framework Chicago Wilderness pilot project
The urban forest of the Chicago Wilderness region, a 7-million-acre area covering portions of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin, will face direct and indirect impacts from a changing climate over the 21st century. This assessment evaluates the vulnerability of urban trees and natural and developed landscapes within the Chicago Wilderness region to a range of future climates. We synthesized and summarized information on the contemporary landscape, provided information on past climate trends, and illustrated a range of projected future climates.
Regional climate trends and scenarios for the U.S. National Climate Assessment: Climate of the Midwest U.S.
This document is one of series of regional climate descriptions designed to provide input that can be used in the development of the National Climate Assessment (NCA).
