  • Mid-Atlantic Forest Ecosystem Vulnerability Assessment and Synthesis: a Report from the Mid-Atlantic Climate Change Response Framework Project
    United States Department of Agriculture Mid-Atlantic Forest Ecosystem Vulnerability Assessment and Synthesis: A Report from the Mid-Atlantic Climate Change Response Framework Project Forest Northern General Technical Service Research Station Report NRS-181 October 2018 ABSTRACT Forest ecosystems will be affected directly and indirectly by a changing climate over the 21st century. This assessment evaluates the vulnerability of 11 forest ecosystems in the Mid-Atlantic region (Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, eastern Maryland, and southern New York) under a range of future climates. We synthesized and summarized information on the contemporary landscape, provided information on past climate trends, and described a range of projected future climates. This information was used to parameterize and run multiple forest impact models, which provided a range of potential tree responses to climate. Finally, we brought these results before two multidisciplinary panels of scientists and land managers familiar with the forests of this region to assess ecosystem vulnerability through a formal consensus-based expert elicitation process. Each chapter of this assessment builds on the previous chapter. The description of the contemporary landscape presents major forest trends and stressors currently threatening forests in the Mid-Atlantic region and defines the forest communities being assessed. The background information in Chapter 2 summarizes climate data analysis and climate models. Analysis of climate records in Chapter 3 indicates that average temperatures and total precipitation in the region have increased. Downscaled climate models in Chapter 4 project potential increases in temperature in every season, but projections for precipitation indicate slight increases in winter and spring, and high variability in summer and fall projections, depending on the scenario.

  • Forest Fire Lookout Association New York State Chapter August 2018
    Forest Fire Lookout Association New York State Chapter August 2018 What a whirlwind of activity NYS has been this past month. We are a big state geographically and we are a big state meteorologicaly. The northern parts of the state remain unseasonably dry and the southern parts of the state are experiencing flooding with torrential rainfall. From the NYS Ranger Report of July 17th: Wildland Fire in Madison County; At approximately 3:30 p.m. on July 13, Forest Rangers were requested to respond to a wildland fire off Johnnycake Hill Road. A 70-year-old landowner had attempted to conduct some residential burning on his property following a logging clear-cut operation this past winter. Wind conditions caused the flames to escape, resulting in a 10-acre fire. It took two Rangers, 120 local fire personnel, and two bulldozers two hours to contain the fire. The high temperatures made efforts to contain the fire especially difficult. 9 volunteer fire departments from Madison County responded. The Madison County Sheriff's Department and highway department staff also assisted in suppression efforts The NYS Ranger Report of August 14th notes the following Wildand Fire Activity: While many areas of New York State have received rain over the last couple weeks, areas along Western New York and the north portions of New York State remain unusually dry. Forest Rangers aggressively responded to six wildland fires this past week and contained all of them to under a half acre in size. Unextinguished and abandoned campfires resulted in four of the fires - one on Long Island on Blue Mountain Lake; one on private property in St.
