Pacific Northwest Global Change Research

	Climate Change Resource Center A reference Web site for resource managers and decisionmakers in the West
	Scientists talk about climate change in the West Topics emphasize information of interest to wildland managers and others who want an understanding of the interaction among climate change, forests, wildfire, water supplies, fish and wildlife, and associated values, and the implications for wildland management.
	Western Mountain Initiative A collaborative research program on the effects of climatic variability and change on mountain ecosystems in the Western United States. Contacts: Don McKenzie, Dave Peterson
	Fire and Climatic Variability in the Pacific Northwest Multiscale analysis of the relationships among climate, topography, and spatiotemporal patterns in historical fire regimes in the inland Pacific Northwest. Contact: Don McKenzie
	Climate Change, Carbon, and Forestry in Northwestern North America Proceedings of a workshop involving different sectors of the forest community in Canada and the United States. Contact: Dave Peterson
	Mapped Atmosphere-Plant-Soil System (MAPSS) A landscape- to global-scale vegetation distribution model developed to simulate the potential biosphere impacts and biosphere-atmosphere feedbacks from climatic change. Contacts: Ron Neilson, Jim Lenihan
	Western Wildland Environmental Threat Assessment Center The center is facilitating assessments of the effects of climate change and ecological disturbance on various landscapes in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Contact: Becky Kerns
	Social and Economic Analysis of the Effects of Climatic Change Research conducted by the Land Use and Land Cover Dynamics team. Contact: Ralph Alig
	Adaptation to Climatic Change on Olympic National Forest (Manuscript file) Case study of how a national forest with diverse natural resources can develop a science-based strategy for adapting to potential changes in the condition of natural resources caused by climatic change. Contacts: Dave Peterson, Kathy O’Halloran (Olympic National Forest).
	Western Climate Initiative (Manuscript file) A research-management partnership to assess and adapt to the effects of climatic change on western ecosystems. Proposed by scientists in the western research stations of the Forest Service, it will assess the effects of climatic change on natural resources, develop a climate-smart toolbox for resource analysis, and generate adaptive management options for western national forests. Contacts: Ron Neilson, Dave Peterson.
	Assessing and Adapting to the Effects of Climate Change on Western Ecosystems: A Research-Management Partnership A research prospectus by the Rocky Mountain Research Station, Pacific Northwest Research Station, and Pacific Southwest Research Station.
	Forest inventory-based estimation of carbon stocks and flux in California forests in 1990 (In preparation) A White Paper by Jeremy Fried and Xiaoping Zhou, 14 November, 2007
	Fluorescence characteristics and biodegradability of dissolved organic matter in forest and wetland soils from coastal temperate watersheds in southeast Alaska by Jason B. Fellman, David V. D'Amore, Eran Hood, and Richard D. Boone
	Climate and Carbon in Southeast Alaska: Beyond the Threshold of change in a dynamic landscape by Dave D'Amore and Rick Edwards
	Yellow-Cedar Decline: Management of a Tree Sensitive to Climate in Southeast Alaska Contacts: Paul Hennon, Dave D' Amore
