Webinar information

The forest resources of the United States have experienced significant changes because of both natural and human actions, and continual change is expected. This webinar will review results from the Forest Resources Chapter of the 2020 RPA Assessment, summarizing recent trends and future projections of forest resources including forest carbon to 2070 based on RPA scenarios. To highlight the value of the RPA approaches, we will then hear about how investments in the RPA science and the RPA Assessment facilitate regional analyses that inform policy and management decisions.
