Changing temperature and precipitation pattern and increasing concentrations of atmospheric CO2 are likely to drive significant modifications in natural and modified forests. Our review is focused on recent publications that discuss the changes in commercial forestry, excluding the ecosystem functions of forests and nontimber forest products. We concentrate on potential direct and indirect impacts of climate change on forest industry, the projections of future trends in commercial forestry, the…

Impacts of precipitation variability on the dynamics of a dry tropical montane forest
Managing Carbon Sequestration in Tropical Forests
This chapter examines how management methods can be implemented to reduce carbon loss and increase carbon storage in tropical forests. Tropical deforestation and degradation are contributing about…
Effects of climate change on forest vegetation in the northern Rockies
Increasing air temperature, through its influence on soil moisture, is expected to cause gradual changes in the abundance and distribution of tree, shrub, and grass species throughout the Northern…
Ecosystem vulnerability assessment and synthesis: a report from the Climate Change Response Framework Project in northern Wisconsin
The forests of northern Wisconsin will likely experience dramatic changes over the next 100 years as a result of climate change. This assessment evaluates key forest ecosystem vulnerabilities to…

Nitrogen deposition and climate change effects on tree species composition and ecosystem services for a forest cohort
TLDR
The effects of two environmental drivers, nitrogen (N) deposition and climate change, are isolated through an analysis of a single cohort of 24 dominant tree species, which provides a foundation for future studies that may incorporate other important factors such as multiple cohorts, sulfur deposition, insects, and diseases.

Detecting the effect of climate change on Canadian forest fires
The area burned by forest fires in Canada has increased over the past four decades, at the same time as summer season temperatures have warmed. Here we use output from a coupled climate model to…
Contributions of land-use history to carbon accumulation in U.S. forests.
TLDR
The relative contribution of land use and growth enhancement is estimated by using inventory data from five states spanning a latitudinal gradient in the eastern United States to estimate the rate of carbon accumulation.
Estimated migration rates under scenarios of global climate change
Greenhouse‐induced warming and resulting shifts in climatic zones may exceed the migration capabilities of some species. We used fourteen combinations of General Circulation Models (GCMs) and Global…

Amazonian forest dieback under climate-carbon cycle projections for the 21st century
SummaryThe first GCM climate change projections to include dynamic vegetation and an interactive carbon cycle produced a very significant amplification of global warming over the 21st century. Under…
Climate effects of global land cover change
When changing from grass and croplands to forest, there are two competing effects of land cover change on climate: an albedo effect which leads to warming and an evapotranspiration effect which tends…
Impacts of Climate Change on the Global Forest Sector
The path and magnitude of future anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide will likely influence changes in climate that may impact the global forest sector. These responses in the global forest…
Stemwood volume increment changes in European forests due to climate change—a simulation study with the EFISCEN model
This paper presents the results of a modelling study of future net annual increment changes in stemwood of European forests owing to climate change. Seven process‐based growth models were applied to…

Carbon Flux and Growth in Mature Deciduous Forest Trees Exposed to Elevated CO2
TLDR
Free air CO2 release in combination with a canopy crane found an immediate and sustained enhancement of carbon flux through 35-meter-tall temperate forest trees when exposed to elevated CO2, but there was no overall stimulation in stem growth and leaf litter production after 4 years.
