This 12-part monthly webinar series tells a story about how small- and large-scale forest disturbance, such as fire, wind, ice storms, hurricanes, sea-level rise, flooding, introduced and endemic forest pests, and others, impact forest ecosystems. The series will also examine ecological silviculture and climate adaptation approaches to help inform forest and wildlife management.

Webinars are presented in a Zoom format. You must register in advance. Registration is for all webinars in the series. Webinar recordings will be posted to the NCTC Webinar Gallery and Northern Institute of Applied Climate Science YouTube at a later date.

• Klaus Puettman with Oregon State University will discuss the role of wind and fire in western forests as guides to ecological silviculture. This presentation will talk about projected changes in climate and disturbance frequency and intensity, managing of complex systems, and old-growth management.
