Forest Management and Water Yield: Tool Development and Synthesis of Outcomes for Embedded Wetlands
On April 27 at 1:00 p.m. eastern, Dr. Esther Lee and Dr. Katie Glodzik from the University of Florida will present recent findings on the influence of upland forest management on wetland and landscape-scale hydrologic functions and associated ecosystem services.

This virtual webinar will be hosted on Microsoft Teams. No registration is required.
Wetlands provide a suite of ecosystem services, including fish and wildlife habitat, microclimate regulation, nutrient and sediment capture and storage, water storage to reduce flooding, and carbon storage with resulting benefits for climate change mitigation. The scope of these services may be significantly affected by surrounding land cover, including variations in forest density and canopy leaf area.
On April 27 at 1:00 p.m. eastern, Dr. Esther Lee and Dr. Katie Glodzik from the University of Florida School of Forest, Fisheries, and Geomatic Sciences will present recent findings on the influence of upland forest management on wetland and landscape-scale hydrologic functions and associated ecosystem services. Findings may be used to inform management practices that increase water yield, improve wetland functions, and support targeted wetlands restoration efforts in the future. While the focus of this presentation is on geographically isolated wetlands in Coastal Plain pine forests, trends may be leveraged to inform management of a diversity of wetlands landscapes.
No registration is required. Access instructions will be added to the Conservation Outcomes Webinar webpage no later than March 31.
