Webinar: Ecosystem Stewardship in an Era of Rapid Climate Change

  • in Ecosystems · Educator · Member of the Public · Public Official · Public Policy · Webinars
  • — 22 Apr, 2015

The most important stewards of Ohio’s natural landscapes are family landowners, not business or government. Climate change poses many challenges to Ohio’s ecosystems, but ecological science and management guidelines now offer sound adaptation strategies to meet these challenges. Enhancing species and structural diversity will promote resilience to the effects of climate change and help preserve the crucial goods and services that Ohio’s ecosystems provide.

Speaker: Dr. Peter Curtis, Department of Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology, The Ohio State University
Peter Curtis is professor of plant ecology at Ohio State University. He conducts research on ecosystem responses to climate change and directs the Northern Forest Carbon Cycle Research Program in northern lower Michigan based at the University of Michigan Biological Station. He has published widely on ecological responses to rising atmospheric carbon dioxide, how climate and land use affect forest carbon storage, and the role biological complexity and ecological resilience can play in aiding our future forests.
