报告摘要：Large uncertainty exists on the feedbacks between climate, forest management, and water supplies at multiple scales. These factors make quantitative assessment of forest ecosystem services to be rather difficult and mistakes made in practicing land management can be consequential. As the world’ top two economy and CO2 emitters, U.S. and China are facing different environmental and socioeconomic challenges. However, the major goals of forest management in these two countries are similar: enhancing ecological restoration towards healthy and resilient watersheds to mitigate and adapt to climate change. Case studies from the US and China will be presented to illustrate how modeling tools can help explore the linkages among forests, climate change, and water resources, and provide useful information for maximizing forest ecosystem services under a changing environment.
