Long-Term Outcome of NIFA Climate Change Program:Reduce the use of energy, nitrogen fertilizer, and water by 10%

and increase carbon sequestration by 15% through resilient forest production systems under changing climate by 2030

• Mitigation – Reduce greenhouse gas emissions in forestry and maximize carbon sequestration

• Adaptation – Maximize resiliency and reduce impact of climate change on productivity of forest systems and reduce carbon, nitrogen and water footprints under changing climate

• Climate Education and Extension- Increase number of scientists, educators and extension professionals with skills to address climate change in forestry

Provide New Management Methods

PINEMAP Logic Model

Page 6: Delivering PINEMAP Outcomes Tim Martin Gary Peter Tom Fox Martha Monroe PINEMAP Annual Meeting Atlanta, GA, May 16, 2012.

Key elements needed to produce PINEMAP outcomes

• Baselines– Biophysical – regional carbon pools; quantification of resilience

or “aggregate risk”?– Management activities – for demonstrating cause

• Assessing management options– Including assessment of barriers to adoption

• Delivery mechanisms• End-of-project assessment

– Biophysical– Management

• Bridges to the future

Page 7: Delivering PINEMAP Outcomes Tim Martin Gary Peter Tom Fox Martha Monroe PINEMAP Annual Meeting Atlanta, GA, May 16, 2012.

Baselines

• Biophysical– Efforts will center

in Aim 2– Early outputs

critical for use as inputs for other analyses

Baselines

• Management– Corporate

• Survey of all corporate landowners associated with PINEMAP coops – represent vast majority of SE corporate pine

• Sensitive, but there is precedent, e.g. FPC annual fertilizer survey

• Will be developed and implemented through Cooperative-Industrial Advisory Council

– Non-Corporate• Aim 6 surveys and assessment of target landowners• Targeted audience will increase impact

Page 9: Delivering PINEMAP Outcomes Tim Martin Gary Peter Tom Fox Martha Monroe PINEMAP Annual Meeting Atlanta, GA, May 16, 2012.

Assessing Management Options

• Assessment of options will occur via models– Coordination with Aim 2 is essential– However, depending on accessibility of models, not all

assessments will need to be done within Aim 2

Page 10: Delivering PINEMAP Outcomes Tim Martin Gary Peter Tom Fox Martha Monroe PINEMAP Annual Meeting Atlanta, GA, May 16, 2012.

Assessing Management Options

• Development of silvicultural and genetic deployment options to test– Will include management, biophysical, economic,

and policy factors– May require subcommittee or action team to

focus on development of management scenarios or alternatives to be assessed

Page 11: Delivering PINEMAP Outcomes Tim Martin Gary Peter Tom Fox Martha Monroe PINEMAP Annual Meeting Atlanta, GA, May 16, 2012.

Delivery Mechanisms

• PINEMAP Extension is a two-pronged effort with corporate and non-corporate audiences

• As an outcomes-based project, involvement of all PIs in some aspect of Extension is key

Page 12: Delivering PINEMAP Outcomes Tim Martin Gary Peter Tom Fox Martha Monroe PINEMAP Annual Meeting Atlanta, GA, May 16, 2012.

End of Project Assessment

• Repeat biophysical and management assessments to compare to baselines

Ambitious Outcomes will Require Implementation on Millions of Acres

Percent of Owners(total number of owners ~ 4.8 million)

• 10% of NIPF owners manage 70% of acreage

• Adoption of altered management by larger landowners will deliver largest impact

• > 20 million acres managed by our industrial cooperators

• > 95% of pine seedlings are produced by cooperators

• Long-established record of successful tech transfer in cooperative framework

Thousands of Acres

Adaptation

• Adaptation goals from RFP are less quantitative, but we still must show outcomes related to reduced risk and increased sustainability for our stakeholders

• We must become the “go to” source of information on decreased risk and increased sustainability for planted pine forest management under changing climate

Page 19: Delivering PINEMAP Outcomes Tim Martin Gary Peter Tom Fox Martha Monroe PINEMAP Annual Meeting Atlanta, GA, May 16, 2012.

Adaptation: Immediate & Future Impacts

• Risk modeling– Regional– Stand

• Seed deployment

• Stand health– Tier III

Bridges to the Future

• Increased regional interdisciplinary forest science capacity

• Enhanced and more highly integrated networks• New generation of managers, scientists and

outreach professionals comfortable with integrated science / outreach work

• Better informed citizenry prepared to address the interactions of climate and forest management
