Neurodiversity in Forestry: The Missing Conversation
Speaker(s): Candra Burns, Appalachian SAF
Description: What is neurodiversity? In the forest, there are different types of trees. All trees fall under the same definition, those types of trees do things differently from other types, called varieties. Every tree is individual, when you bring them all together, they represent biodiversity. Now consider our diverse neurological systems.

Assessment of Soil Erosion Rate, Ground Cover Status, and Best Management Practices Implementation Rate in the Conventional and Integrated Biomass Harvest Sites in the Southeastern USA
Speaker(s): Manisha Parajuli, Auburn University
Description: This study evaluated the impact of biomass harvests on soil erosion and BMP implementation rates in the Coastal Plains of Alabama, Florida, and Georgia. Results showed no significant differences in erosion rates between biomass and conventional harvest sites, indicating that proper implementation of BMPs is critical for all harvest types.

User-friendly Direct-response Analysis: Coupling TPO Data with Public Databases to Estimate Forest Products Employment Ratios
Speaker(s): Samuel Scott, BBER FIRP - UM
Description: The economic condition of the forest products industry is a key component in forest planning and management. Using novel methods, we build a series of regional and national coefficients that express the relationship between changes in forest output and changes in employment and wages across several forest products industry sectors.

Evolution of Redwood Forest Silviculture - Learning from Jackson Demonstration State Forest's Decades of Work
Speaker(s): Lynn Webb, CAL FIRE- Jackson Demonstration State Forest
Description: The presentation will survey the results of a century's changing management on coastal redwood forests at Jackson Demonstration State Forest. It will draw on the forest's research and demonstrations to illustrate redwood silviculture. Now the expanded forest management goals reflect knowledge of ecosystem complexity as well as societal expectations.

The Role of Fuels Treatments in Transforming Fire Management
Speaker(s): John Bailey, Oregon State University
Description: This presentation will address the emerging crisis around large wildfires. To break the cycle of continued attempts at suppression that deepens the crisis will require fundamental changes in our willingness to retreat from the status quo, invest in proactive fuels management, and move forward sustainably rather than defiantly.

A Case for How Carbon Markets Are Failing Southern Tree Farmers
Speaker(s): Matthew Pelkki, University of Arkansas at Monticello
Description: Carbon markets that exclude stored carbon in wood products may result in less atmospheric carbon removal by forests than if products are included. We compare carbon storage outcomes from rotations that maximize LEV, MAI, carbon storage in living trees, and carbon in stand plus products.
