Journal ArticleDOI
The past and future of modeling forest dynamics: from growth and yield curves to forest landscape models
Stephen R. Shifley,Hong S. He,Heike Lischke,Wen J. Wang,Wenchi Jin,Eric J. Gustafson,Jonathan R. Thompson,Frank R. Thompson,William D. Dijak,Jian Yang +9 more
TL;DR: Forest landscape models, in particular, are ready to transition to a central role supporting forest management, planning, and policy decisions and will require greater attention to evaluating performance and building application support staffs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in forest biomass and tree species distribution under climate change in the northeastern United States
TL;DR: In this paper, the LANDIS PRO forest landscape model was used to simulate forest succession and tree harvest under current climate and three climate change scenarios from 2000 to 2300, and the effects of climate change on AGB and tree species distribution were analyzed.
ReportDOI
Central Hardwoods ecosystem vulnerability assessment and synthesis: a report from the Central Hardwoods Climate Change Response Framework project

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the vulnerability of terrestrial ecosystems in the Central Hardwoods Region of Illinois, Indiana, and Missouri to a range of future climate changes and found that Mesic upland forests were the most vulnerable to projected changes in climate, whereas many systems adapted to fire and drought were perceived as less vulnerable.
Journal ArticleDOI
LANDIS PRO: a landscape model that predicts forest composition and structure changes at regional scales
Wen J. Wang,Hong S. He,Jacob S. Fraser,Frank R. Thompson,Stephen R. Shifley,Martin A. Spetich +5 more
TL;DR: Landis Pro as discussed by the authors predicts forest composition and structure changes incorporating species-, stand-, and landscape-scales processes at regional scales, including tree growth, establishment, and mortality, and demonstrate that Landis PRO successfully predicts forest successional trajectories and stand development patterns in the Central Hardwood Forest region in U.S.
Journal ArticleDOI
Importance of succession, harvest, and climate change in determining future composition in U.S. Central Hardwood Forests
TL;DR: In this article, the relative importance of succession, harvest, and climate change to forest composition changes in a 125-million ha area of the Central Hardwood Forest Region of U.S. was determined.
