Abstract
Forests of the coastal plain region of the southeastern United States are among the most productive in North America.
Because they form the basis of a large timber and wood products industry, these forests are of considerable economic
importance. Also, the forests are rich in plant and animal species. Because they are diverse as well as productive, they have
considerable conservation importance. Therefore, understanding potential impacts of climate change on southern forests is
critical.
