Northern Forests Vulnerability

Forests are a defining landscape feature throughout the Northern Forests Climate Hub and are central to ecological, economic, and cultural values in the region. These ecosystems are already responding to changing conditions, and future changes could dramatically alter the landscape that characterizes the region. What is vulnerability?

Vulnerabilities in Agriculture and Forestry

Climate change poses unprecedented challenges to U.S. agriculture because of the sensitivity of agricultural productivity and costs to changing climate conditions. Agriculture in the United States produces approximately $300 billion a year in commodities.

Fire Management Adaptation Menu

Fire plays an essential role as a fundamental ecological disturbance process in diverse ecosystems across the U.S. Climate change presents new challenges for managing wildland fires in fire-adapted ecosystems and near the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI). Warmer annual and seasonal temperatures, increases in drought and heat-induced tree mortality, increases in vapor pressure deficit, decreases in relative humidity, and increases in fire season length are all affecting how we manage and plan for fire.

Climate Change Resource Center

From 2008 to 2020, the Climate Change Resource Center (CCRC) was the primary source of Forest Service climate change information for management audiences.

Case Studies of Rangeland Resilience in the Northwest

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.
