The Southern Forest Futures Project; Scenarios to Help Decision Makers Guide Forest Planning

The Southern Forest Futures Project provides a science-based “futuring” analysis of the forests of the 13 States of the Southeastern United States. With findings organized in a set of scenarios and using a combination of computer models and science synthesis, author David Wear et al of the Southern Forest Futures Project examine a variety of possible futures that could shape forests and the many ecosystem services and values that forests provide. The science findings and modeling results could inform management and policy analysis of the South’s forests. In this summary report, the authors distill detailed results from the Southern Forest Futures Project technical report and provide a set of key findings and implications.
