Large Trees Dominate Carbon Storage in Forests East of the Cascade Crest in the United States Pacific Northwest

Journal Article Mildrexler, David; Berner, Logan; Law, Beverly; ... - Frontiers in Forests and Global Change

Large-diameter trees store disproportionally massive amounts of carbon and are a major driver of carbon cycle dynamics in forests worldwide. In the temperate forests of the western United States, proposed changes to Forest Plans would significantly weaken protections for a large portion of trees greater than 53 cm (21 inches) in diameter (herein referred to as “large-diameter trees”) across 11.5 million acres (~4.7 million ha) of National Forest lands. This study is among the first to report how carbon storage in large trees and forest ecosystems would be affected by a proposed policy. We examined the proportion of large-diameter treesmore »« less

Carbon dioxide increase and human health: data and research requirements for determining consequences (including a bibliography for additional reading)

Technical Report White, M; Hertz-Picciotto, I; Johnston, M

The purpose of this study was to determine the data and information needed to eventually define the consequences on human health of elevated CO/sub 2/. To attain this purpose, current knowledge of the effects of climate and weather on human health was reviewed. An increase in atmospheric CO/sub 2/ is predicted to have several effects which may have an influence, directly and indirectly, on human health. These include climate change, changes in vegetation (due to changes in fertilization and water-use efficiency of plants), changes in ocean chemistry (due to increases in dissolved CO/sub 2/), and possibly slight changes in humanmore »« less
Exploring the impacts of unprecedented climate extremes on forest ecosystems: hypotheses to guide modeling and experimental studies

Journal Article Holm, Jennifer; Medvigy, David; Smith, Benjamin; ... - Biogeosciences (Online)

Climatic extreme events are expected to occur more frequently in the future, increasing the likelihood of unprecedented climate extremes (UCEs) or record-breaking events. UCEs, such as extreme heatwaves and droughts, substantially affect ecosystem stability and carbon cycling by increasing plant mortality and delaying ecosystem recovery. Quantitative knowledge of such effects is limited due to the paucity of experiments focusing on extreme climatic events beyond the range of historical experience. Here, we present a road map of how dynamic vegetation demographic models (VDMs) can be used to investigate hypotheses surrounding ecosystem responses to one type of UCE: unprecedented droughts.

Improving the SWAT forest module for enhancing water resource projections: A case study in the St. Croix River Basin

Journal Article Yang, Qichun; Zhang, Xuesong; Almendinger, James; ... - Hydrological Processes

Insufficiently calibrated forest parameters of the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) may introduce uncertainties to water resource projections in forested watersheds. In this study, we improved SWAT forest parameterization and phosphorus cycling representations to better simulate forest ecosystems in the St. Croix River Basin (SCRB), and further examined how those improvements affected model projections of streamflow, sediment and nitrogen export under future climate conditions. Simulations with improved forest parameters substantially reduced model estimates of water, sediment, and nitrogen fluxes relative to those based on default parameters. Differences between improved and default projections can be attributed to the enhanced representationmore »« less
