Resilience, the ability to withstand or recover quickly from a disturbance is important in keeping forests ecologically healthy as well as maintaining timber value in working forests. Variables that affect resiliency include the movement of water through forests, regeneration of trees and woody species, complexity of the forest, presence of dead and downed wood, and presence of future adapted species (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uvm.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/UVM-Extension-Cultivating-Healthy-Communities\/forestry\/Climate_12Steps_Flyer_2024.pdf\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12 Steps for Climate Resilience<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

Both of these practices align with increasing complexity, promoting regeneration, and providing valuable habitat for forest birds. In some areas, trees were girdled to create standing dead snags, while other non-merchantable wood was left on the ground. Control plots were paired with treatment plots in similar conditions in the stand. Variables measured include information on the number and size of trees, saplings, and seedlings, understory vegetation, presence of invasive species, and forest health. Measurements taken by the interns will be used to understand the outcomes of these practices now and in the future. These permanent plots will be revisited at intervals in the future and hopefully be an informative resource for others who are deciding to implement similar harvesting practices in their forests.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2023, with the support of the Society of American Foresters (SAF) Kurt Gottschalk Science Fund, the NorthWoods Stewardship Center partnered with UVM Extension Forester Ali Kosiba to establish climate resilience monitoring plots in the NorthWoods demonstration forest.
