    Leveraging positive interactions among tree species is a potentially powerful tool to sustain forests under climate change. However, experimental validation is only nascent in California. We used Forest Inventory data to investigate the potential of species mixture effects to enhance tree growth, vigor, and survival for major conifers and hardwoods. Presented by Christopher Looney, USFS PSW Research Station at the 2023 SAF National Convention in Sacramento, CA.

Bankhead National Forest in Alabama, from seed collection to planting seedlings. Presented by Christine Martens, USDA Forest Service at the 2023 SAF National Convention in Sacramento, CA
