  1. What is PINEMAP?? • Pine Integrated Network: Education, Mitigation, and Adaptation Project Institutions in PINEMAP domain in blue. Loblolly native range highlighted in green.

  2. Why Climate and Southern Forests? • Forest system is sensitive to climate: • Drought*, cold temps, damage from winter wx, flooding, extreme temp shifts, tropical storms Beetles Wildfires Image courtesy of: Dale Wade, Rx Fire Doctor, Bugwood.org Image courtesy of: Ronald F. Billings, Texas Forest Service, Bugwood.org

  3. PINEMAP Audience: Planted Pine in the Southern US (thousands acres) (cooperatives) • Cooperatives: scientists and land managers • 10% of NIPF owners manage 70% of acres

  4. Project Goals To create, synthesize, & disseminate knowledge that enables southern forest landowners: • to harness pine forest productivity to mitigate atmospheric CO2 • to more efficiently utilize fertilizer inputs (e.g. N) • to adapt forest mgmt approaches to increase resilience & reduce risk due to climate and other factors Also, climate literacy!

  5. Disciplinary Aims Contribute to Broader Integrated Project Goals Mitigation Adaptation Education and Extension Aim 1 Monitoring Network Aim 2 Multi-scale Models Aim 3 Genetics Aim 4 Economics, policy, LCA Aim 5 Education Aim 6 Extension

  6. Meet Aim 6: Extension land-grant  end-users

  7. PINEMAP DSS overview • Synthesizes PINEMAP research for forest landowners (industry, agency, Extension, etc.) • Providing management guidance for a changing climate and for year-to-year & interannual climate variability • Options for novice and advanced users • Also includes: • PINEMAP information • Tools (online models, related material, etc.) • Tips (how to use and interpret DSS information)

  8. Novice user – follow process

  9. Advanced User – can skip around
