Abstract
Climate change is a growing concern for Michigan’s forests. Foresters and land managers are considering how to prepare for future conditions and evaluate risks. This field guide is a quick reference on climate change for northern Michigan forests. We hope it will help you consider climate change risks together with local site characteristics, and also that it will help you design adaptation actions that help meet management goals.
