Ecological Silviculture for Southern Bottomland Hardwood Ecosystems



Haven Barnhill with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will present on the loss of ash species in bottomland hardwood forests and the increasing frequency and intensity of winds, floods, and the interactions between the two. Additionally, the presentation will touch on how to manage for resiliency given more intense hurricane and flood events.

Ecological Forestry in the Context of Climate Change Webinar Series

This webinar is one of a 12-part monthly webinar series tells a story about how small- and large-scale forest disturbances, such as fire, wind, ice storms, hurricanes, sea-level rise, flooding, introduced and endemic forest pests, and others, impact forest ecosystems. The series will also examine ecological silviculture and climate adaptation approaches to help inform forest and wildlife management.

Series topics will be applicable to biologists, foresters, land managers and planners, and other natural resource practitioners working in Federal, State, Tribal, and local government agencies, and non-government and private organizations, with an interest in the intersection of climate change adaptation, forest ecology, and wildlife habitat management.

Webinars will take place on the 3rd Tuesday of each month from 1:00-2:00 pm ET. Each month's presentation topic is intended to build upon the prior webinar in order to tell a cohesive story about forest disturbance and climate change impacts on forest ecosystems and provide silvicultural and adaptation options for natural resource management.

Webinars are presented in a Zoom format. You must register in advance. Registration is required for all webinars in the series.
