Water, Climate Change and Forests: A Report on Effects of and Responses to Climate Change's Impacts on Watersheds
This report describes some adaptation opportunities associated with forest management, specifically in the context of water and aquatic ecosystems. The first two sections describe the importance of forests to the Nation's water resources and summarize observed and projected effects of climate change on the hydrologic cycle and forested watersheds. Following sections outline a feasible framework for response, focused on thinking, collaborating, and acting.
