Th e climate of northeastern North America has changed markedly over the past 100 years and computer models for the region forecast more change to come. Policy makers, land managers, citizens, and scientists must grapple with what this change means for the future of the region and its forests. This report summarizes five climate science papers published in the Canadian Journal of Forest Research. It provides a picture of the potential effects of climate change and provides a concise scientific overview to inform natural resource management and policy decisions.
