  • Risk assessment in the Pyrocene – Rapid changes in models and predictions complicate US policies to prioritize forest and fuel management

    Open AccessAlan A Ager, Michelle A Day et al.ARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2026

    Increased wildfire activity in the US motivated the USDA Forest Service to update national wildfire simulation data used for risk assessment and prioritizing wildland fuel reduction programs. The update (FSim-2020 to FSim-2023) included revised data on fuels, ignition frequency, fire weather, and recalibration of the FSim model. We overlayed the new simulated fire perimeters with the most recent building footprint data to examine the change in ma…

  • Costs of forest carbon sequestration in the presence of climate change impacts

    Open AccessAlla Golub, Brent Sohngen et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Forests play a critical role in mitigating climate change, and, at the same time, are predicted to experience large-scale impacts of climate change that will affect the efficiency of forests in mitigation efforts. Projections of future carbon sequestration potential typically do not account for the changing economic costs of timber and agricultural production and land use change. We integrated a dynamic forward-looking economic optimization model…

  • Trends and controls on water-use efficiency of an old-growth coniferous forest in the Pacific Northwest

    Open AccessYueyang Jiang, Christopher J Still et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    At the ecosystem scale, water-use efficiency (WUE) is defined broadly as the ratio of carbon assimilated to water evaporated by an ecosystem. WUE is an important aspect of carbon and water cycling and has been used to assess forest ecosystem responses to climate change and rising atmospheric CO 2 concentrations. This study investigates the influence of meteorological and radiation variables on forest WUE by analyzing an 18 year (1998–2015) half-h…

  • Assessing climate change impacts, benefits of mitigation, and uncertainties on major global forest regions under multiple socioeconomic and emissions scenarios

    Open AccessJohn B Kim, Erwan Monier et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    We analyze a set of simulations to assess the impact of climate change on global forests where MC2 dynamic global vegetation model (DGVM) was run with climate simulations from the MIT Integrated Global System Model-Community Atmosphere Model (IGSM-CAM) modeling framework. The core study relies on an ensemble of climate simulations under two emissions scenarios: a business-as-usual reference scenario (REF) analogous to the IPCC RCP8.5 scenario, an…

  • Global climate change impacts on forests and markets

    Open AccessXiaohui Tian, Brent Sohngen et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    This paper develops an economic analysis of climate change impacts in the global forest sector. It illustrates how potential future climate change impacts can be integrated into a dynamic forestry economics model using data from a global dynamic vegetation model, the MC2 model. The results suggest that climate change will cause forest outputs (such as timber) to increase by approximately 30% over the century. Aboveground forest carbon storage als…
