Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In a time of climate uncertainty, patterns and processes in the world's forests are undergoing rapid change, some of which we understand and some of which we can only surmise. Managers must make decisions on the fly using the best available science at the time. This Special Issue will present research from alpine, boreal (taiga), sub-boreal, temperate, subtropical, and tropical regions that explores the interaction between environmental influences, including the climate and forest stand dynamics. Research results from long-term studies and shorter experiments are welcome. The main focus of each article should be the interaction between forests and the surrounding environment.
Dr. Warren Moser
