| 요약 | How will forests change in the future and what can land managers do in response? As climate change impacts public lands in the United States, natural resource managers must grapple with this question to ensure that these lands and the ecosystems that they support continue to provide what human communities have come to expect from them. In the forests of the western United States, climate change has begun to and will continue to exacerbate the impacts of naturally occurring disturbances, including fires, insect outbreaks, and flooding. In order to respond to these impacts, managers need access to scientific information that helps them understand what to expect. Yet, in government agencies, adaptation is not only a technical issue but also involves a policy side. However, academic studies of adaptation have largely not explored the policy dimensions of adaptation, and a next step for research on the topic involves examining how actors make and implement policies related to adaptation.My dissertation addresses this need with a focus on the U.S. Forest Service, a federal agency in charge of 193 million acres of public lands. The Forest Service's adaptation strategy emphasizes the development of climate change vulnerability assessments to provide managers with targeted scientific information and management for resilience, a concept that generally describes a system's ability to absorb and recover from the impacts of disturbances. My research examines how practitioners take these somewhat ambiguous ideas and put them into practice given the Forest Service's policies, bureaucratic characteristics, and social-ecological contexts. The agency has had adaptation policies in place for around a decade |
