Abstract
Climate change will present challenges for northern hardwood forests through the coming century. Many land managers are seeking information and resources to inform forest management activities given a wide range of potential future conditions. The field of climate adaptation is growing rapidly, with increased information available regarding the vulnerability of forests to climate change, tools for considering climate change in management planning and decision making, and management options to support adaptation to future conditions.
