For land managers who need to address climate change in ecosystem management planning, it can be difficult to find timely and useful science that can apply to on-the-ground actions. Not only is it a challenge to distill complex and regional ecological responses to climate change into specific management options, but the rapid generation of new science on the subject can take time to sort through.
The Forest Service’s Climate Change Resource Center (CCRC) is a science-delivery team working to address these challenges by facilitating better integration between research and forest management on the issue of climate change. The CCRC website (http://www.fs.fed.us/ccrc/) showcases many of our current efforts. Ongoing initiatives include building a library of educational materials, multimedia courses, and videos relevant to land management; connecting users with software tools and guidance on the uses and limitations of those tools; and recruiting scientists to write peer-reviewed syntheses on natural resource topics in their areas of expertise. This presentation will highlight some of the resources and ongoing efforts of the Climate Change Resource Center.
