Selecting a Model to Estimate the Effects of Climate Change and Management Activities on Carbon Cycling in Temperate Forest Regions
By Bob Zybach
[UPDATE: This 1993 EPA Report was discussed in some detail during a one-hour interview broadcast on in Albany, Oregon, on April 5, 2007 (available as four named MP3 files). The interview was conducted by Josh Meredith for the weekly KGAL "News Talk 1580" Valley Talk radio program. Much of the discussion focused on mitigating strategies for using publicly-owned western Oregon forests to sequester carbon (see pages 194-197) for purposes complementary to currently stated Global Warming objectives].
This report was intially delivered in September, 1991 to an international workshop of forest scientists, civil engineers, and climatologists with an interest in the relationship between climate change and boreal forests of the northern hemisphere: particularly the coniferous forests of the US, Canada, Russia, and China.
The workshop was co-sponsored by US Environmental Protection Agency and Oregon State University and took place in Corvallis, Oregon over nearly a week's time. The event was prominently reported in the local press, and resulted in the publication of workshop papers by EPA in 1993.
