OSTI ID:6778682

The Southeastern and Southern Forest Experiment Stations of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service chartered a joint research initiative in 1990 called the Southern Global Change Program (SGCP). The SGCP was developed to improve our understanding of the interactions among southern forests, air pollution, and climate change. The SGCP will address questions about the ecological and socioeconomic impacts of global change on the South, as well as questions about how management practices and policies should be modified in order to adapt to or mitigate these effects. The SGCP will provide information necessary to meet the challenge of maintaining forest health, productivity, and diversity in the face of global environmental change. This document describes the activities of the SGCP and identifies its relationship to the U.S. Global Change Research Program.
