Environmental and societal consequences of a possible CO/sub 2/-induced climate change. Volume II, Part 7. Direct effects of increased concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide on managed forests

OSTI ID:6815727
A description is given of a program of research dealing with the effect of increasing levels of carbon dioxide (CO/sub 2/) in the ambient environment on forests that are managed to produce specific goods and services. Experimental studies in growth chambers, greenhouses, and field chambers are needed to determine the physiological responses of seedlings and young trees to variable CO/sub 2/ levels, and a modeling approach is required to integrate all the factors which may affect the response of entire forest stands to elevated CO/sub 2/ levels. It is strongly recommended that the proposed research be limited to a few intensively managed communities (e.g., Douglas-fir in the Pacific Northwest, loblolly pine in the Southeast, poplar or other managed hardwoods in the Lake States, eucalyptus and/or teak in the tropics, and Norway spruce and/or beech in Europe). The strength of the CO/sub 2/ cycle models will be considerably diluted unless an attempt is made to concentrate efforts and resources on a few key managed forest systems.
