Title
Forest Growth and Yield Models to Support Adaptive Management
Description
This seminar will describe the application of models of forest dynamics to inform adaptive forest management decisions. We will highlight the challenges of predicting management outcomes under rapidly changing environmental conditions. We will then discuss how we can apply cutting-edge models of forest dynamics to help make informed management decisions in the face of uncertain future conditions.
