- Abstract:
- The overarching goal of our research project is to: understand and identify ways to mitigate the direct and indirect impacts of the emerald ash borer (EAB) on the capacity of northeastern forests to increase forest resiliency, ensuring the future provision of timber and other ecosystem services. Invasive forest insects, such as EAB, have significant direct impacts on U.S. forests. Through the selective elimination of tree species, they impact structure, composition, and ecosystem services including timber supply and carbon storage and have significant indirect impacts through their influence on regional harvesting regimes.
