Overview of Oak Ecology and Economics webinar

In the eastern United States, oaks are abundant and provide significant economic and ecological benefits. However, oak ecosystems have experienced significant changes over the past century due to fire exclusion by suppression, land-use changes, pests, and pathogens. These pressures threaten the long-term sustainability of oak-dominated systems. Research-informed management efforts are critical now, more than ever.

The U S Forest Service’s Northern & Southern Research stations will hold an Overview of Oak Ecology and Economics webinar on Tuesday, January 13^th from 10 to 11 am ET.

Oaks dominate many eastern forests and are valued for their timber, ecosystem function, and beauty.

In this webinar, presenters will provide an overview of oak management, ecology, distribution across the landscape, and their place in regional and local hardwood markets.
