Protecting Our Nation’s Forests: Understanding Vulnerability and Risk Management

Our nation's forests are increasingly vulnerable due to various environmental threats. This piece examines the concept of risk, defined as the likelihood of exposure to threats combined with the magnitude of their impacts. It delves into factors like exposure and sensitivity to these threats, as well as the adaptive capacity of forest ecosystems. The framework for managing such risks is explored, considering the ecological, social, and economic values at stake. Willows and Connell's 2003 framework provides essential insights into forest risk management.
