Abstract
The USDA Forest Service conducts climate change vulnerability assessments (CCVA) to inform planning and regions, and individual forests have also assessed climate change vulnerabilities for their landscapes and ecosystems, often in support of forest plan revision. National forests have used CCVA to inform forest planning and management in a range of ways, some more comprehensive than others. We designed a pilot survey instrument aimed at exploring social and organizational factors that may influence the degree to which national forests adopt practices or undertake activities related to climate change adaptation.
