The Northeast region of the United States is home to a tremendous array of edible crop production including all except sub-tropical species.
The region has a wide variety of climate zones, soil types, and accessible, large markets, and has a long history of terminal markets that connect our product to international buyers. Northeast farmers also tend to be early adopters in terms of new crops and new production techniques. The fact that our farms tend to be smaller allows the industry as a whole to be responsive to change. These attributes help compe

Steve is a native Californian from nearby Sacramento who earned his BS in ecology and MS in biological sciences from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. Steve went on to earn his PhD in ecology and conservation biology from Utah State University where his research focused on the effects of invasive species on wildlife communities and resource-consumer interactions in an applied rangeland restoration context. Before joining the Hub, Steve worked for the US Forest Service where he was head of the ecosystem management department on the Sierra National Forest.

The forestlands of the Southeast United States are some of them most productive in the world. However, there are several major threats that reduce productivity and economic return each year. Threats from extreme weather, invasive species, wildfire, and diseases have increased in severity due to climate change. Fortunately, there are adaptation practices that landowners can use to reduce or eliminate these threats, while increasing stand value.

Stephanie Yelenik is a Rangeland Scientist with the Rocky Mountain Research Station, US Forest Service, in Reno, NV. She is interested in plant-ecosystem interactions and how these alter the trajectory of plant communities that are under diverse anthropogenic threats, including invasive species, increased wildfire regimes, and climate change. She combines ecological theory with empirical, field-based experiments to address problems that have application to management and restoration.

When planting trees after a wildland fire or timber harvest (reforestation) or on land that did not previously have trees (afforestation), it is important to plant the right seed or seedling in the right place. The right seed or seedling will become a tree that is suited to survive, grow, and reproduce in the current and future climate. The Seedlot Selection Tool helps foresters, landowners, and land managers to consider climate change when planning reforestation and afforestation projects.
