From 2008 to 2020, the Climate Change Resource Center (CCRC) was the primary source of Forest Service climate change information for management audiences.
Rangelands of the Northwest are complex, interconnected systems covering nearly 100 million acres that are sensitive to drought, wildfire, invasive species, and grazing. The large land extent and multiple ownerships characteristic of rangelands pose challenges to access, monitoring and decision-making under rapidly changing conditions.

For communities and individuals thinking about yard trees what simple methods are available to understand vulnerability in the context of a single tree or a forest property? Considering a tree's tolerance to environmental stress can help to optimize tree plantings for success given climate change pressures over time. A more resilient landscape can provide long-term climate and human health outcomes for communities.

The Northeast region of the United States is home to a tremendous array of edible crop production including all except sub-tropical species.
The region has a wide variety of climate zones, soil types, and accessible, large markets, and has a long history of terminal markets that connect our product to international buyers. Northeast farmers also tend to be early adopters in terms of new crops and new production techniques. The fact that our farms tend to be smaller allows the industry as a whole to be responsive to change. These attributes help compe
Natural resources practitioners working in Great Lakes coastal ecosystems face decisions about how to help coastal properties adapt to climate changes.

In the Northeast, climate trends include more rain and more frequent heavy rain events.
In addition, warming temperatures may increase insect growth rates, making the region more hospitable to existing pests and potentially to new pests. Altogether, these patterns will increase stressors that affect forest health.

Stephanie Yelenik is a Rangeland Scientist with the Rocky Mountain Research Station, US Forest Service, in Reno, NV. She is interested in plant-ecosystem interactions and how these alter the trajectory of plant communities that are under diverse anthropogenic threats, including invasive species, increased wildfire regimes, and climate change. She combines ecological theory with empirical, field-based experiments to address problems that have application to management and restoration.
