are key change agents in forest ecosystems. Peter Osborne and colleagues studied the impact climate change and resilient forest management practices will have on the wood construction industry and how builders could adapt their practices to changing forest compositions.
according to their ecological traits and building traits suitable for wood across various construction applications.The authors found that many softwood species currently used in construction are not well adapted to a changing climate, while hardwood species such as tamarack , red maple , oaks , and elm could help make the regions' forests more resilient.
