Forests are increasingly being recognized for their carbon benefits with a rapidly growing array of policy initiatives and market opportunities now focused on forests as natural climate solutions. Nevertheless, the conditions incentivized by these programs, as well as those more broadly viewed as maximizing carbon benefits may conflict with other objectives tied to biodiversity conservation and ecosystem resilience under changing climate and disturbance regimes.
The Forest Carbon and Climate Program at Michigan State University and the Society for American Foresters will host a Looking at Forest Carbon from Multiple Dimensions: Tradeoffs and Opportunities .webinar on May 3rd from 3:00 – 4:00 PM ET.
This webinar by Anthony D’Amato, Forest Program Director at the University of Vermont, will explore potential tradeoffs and opportunities in relation to managing for forest carbon and will outline holistic carbon management strategies that account for long-term ecosystem resilience and the importance of balancing numerous objectives.
