FCCP Releases Research Reports on Maryland and Pennsylvania from the State-Level Forest and Forest Product Carbon Modeling Project

EmailThe two newly released state-level reports are titled, “Impact of Forest Management and Wood Utilization on Carbon Sequestration and Storage in Pennsylvania and Maryland”. Each of the two state reports may be downloaded separately.
In collaboration with American Forests, The Northern Institute of Applied Climate Science (NIACS), and the Canadian Forest Service, Forest Carbon and Climate Program (FCCP) team members, Chad Papa, Kylie Clay, Daphna Gadoth-Goodman, and Lauren Cooper are key authors of the newly released reports titled, “Impact of Forest Management and Wood Utilization on Carbon Sequestration and Storage in Pennsylvania and Maryland”. Research is summarized by scenario development, modeling methodology, and results for both Maryland and Pennsylvania with a focus on climate smart forestry practices.
This research is linked to the State-Level Forest and Forest Product Carbon Modeling project. The FCCP and partners developed a variety of target goals and management scenarios incorporating forest sector activities and climate simulations to explore the role forests and their associated harvest wood products have in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.
The long-term goal of this project is to continually build capacity within state policy making to understand the role of forest management under climate change. Working directly with state decision-makers in natural resource management agencies, FCCP team members expect these results to have immediate impact for forest management in these states.
