Scientific/technical activities
SFI engaged with the University of North Carolina to forecast the trajectory of forests in the Piedmont and Sandhills ecoregions of North Carolina under high and low climate and land use change. The project quantified how these forests, especially restored longleaf pine and managed production forests, contribute to landscape connectivity. This research is crucial to understanding forest contributions to connectivity under global climate change. It will help prioritize and incentivize forest restoration and sustainable forest management to promote biodiversity.
