SUMMARY:The Business and Ecosystem Value of Biodiversity
DESCRIPTION:Protecting biodiversity is a defining issue of our time as we face the prospect of mass extinction and ecosystem collapse. In this webinar\, Quantis and partners will discuss what biodiversity means from a business perspective\, how biodiversity concerns can be integrated into existing sustainability strategies\, and how this focus can align with current company-wide goals. The speakers will discuss why biodiversity is critical for resilience\, strategies for engaging key stakeholders to come along\, and how to integrate biodiversity commitments into existing frameworks such as science-based targets. In this webcast you will learn: \n\nThe main barriers and pressures involved in implementing a biodiversity strategy for your business\nWhy it makes business sense to focus on ecosystem services and biodiversity protection\nHow to get started with biodiversity using EqoSystem Analytics: The Quantis Biodiversity Methodology\nThe challenges and opportunities involved with focusing on biodiversity strategies (based on case study examples)\n\nDetails here.

SUMMARY:Valuing Aquatic Ecosystem Health at a National Scale: Modeling Biological Indicators Across Space and Time
DESCRIPTION:EPA estimates the benefits of preserving aquatic resources using the water quality index (WQI). The WQI focuses on metrics related to human use\, such as recreation\, but fails to fully capture aspects important to nonuse values of aquatic ecosystems\, such as existence values. Stated preference surveys can quantify the nonuse values of streams and lakes but require an appropriate index of biological health to be able to measure and compare biological condition. \nIn a recent effort\, EPA researchers identified an appropriate biological health index to be applied in a forthcoming national stated preference survey that will estimate nonuse values of streams and lakes throughout the conterminous United States (CONUS). Through a literature review and focus groups\, researchers compared two aquatic indices that are regularly used to quantify biological health by EPA’s National Aquatic Resources Surveys: 1) multimetric indices (MMIs) and 2) the observed-to-expected ratio of taxonomic composition (O/E). This webinar will discuss this comparison\, implications for estimating benefits of preserving aquatic resources\, and forthcoming work to link O/E with water quality and habitat models\, which would forecast changes in O/E resulting from future regulatory action. \nDetails here.

SUMMARY:Fishing for Food: Quantifying Recreational Fisheries Harvest in Wisconsin Lakes
DESCRIPTION:Recreational fisheries have high economic worth\, valued at US$190 billion globally. An important\, but underappreciated\, secondary value of recreational catch is its role as a source of food. This contribution is poorly understood due to difficulty in estimating recreational harvest at spatial scales beyond a single system\, as traditionally estimated from individual creel surveys. Here\, we address this gap using 28-year creel surveys of ~300 Wisconsin inland lakes. We develop a statistical model of recreational harvest for individual lakes and then scale-up to unsurveyed lakes (3\,769 lakes; 73% of statewide lake surface area). We generate a state-wide estimate of recreational lake harvest of ~4\,200 metric tons and an estimated annual angler consumption rate of ~1.1 kg\, nearly equal to the total estimated United States per capita freshwater fish consumption. An important ecosystem service\, recreational harvest makes significant contributions to human diets and plays an often-unheralded role in food security. \nDetails here.

SUMMARY:Phenology and YOU: Bringing Leopold into Our Time
DESCRIPTION:Aldo Leopold\, best known as the author of A Sand County Almanac\, was a keen observer of the natural world. Throughout his life\, he kept daily journals recording observations of seasonal events\, especially those occurring at his beloved “Shack” on the Leopold farm which was the setting for many essays in A Sand County Almanac. Leopold’s meticulous phenological observations have provided us with an unparalleled record of when plants bloomed\, birds migrated\, and other natural events occurred. Comparing his observations of hundreds of natural events to recent records helps us understand how climate change is affecting the ecological community. One lesson from Leopold’s journals is clear: For those who love nature and take time to observe it closely\, keeping records enhances the enjoyment and value of our time and effort\, both now and in the future. \nDetails here.

SUMMARY:Challenges Getting There in Relation to Production and Conservation
DESCRIPTION:A part of the Yale Forest Forum: The Future of Wood Building Products in a Changing Climate \nWood is a renewable resource that has wide material applications in many industries. Wood products sourced from sustainably managed forests store carbon and can play an important role in combating climate change. Recent innovations in the use of wood have led to the development of new products that can replace traditional fossil-based carbon-intensive materials\, particularly in the construction and energy sectors. Understanding the potential environmental impacts and societal implications of increases in both conventional and emerging wood products across their respective life cycles\, as well as their possible reuse in a circular construction economy\, is critical in assessing the climate mitigation potential of wood vs. other materials. \nWhat is the future role of forest products in addressing climate\, resources\, societal\, and environmental challenges? What are the environmental\, economic\, and societal implications for using more forest products? Hear from speakers representing forestry\, industrial ecology\, architecture\, conservation\, and academia. \nDetails here.

SUMMARY:PaddockTrac: A Web-Based Mobile Application for Managed Grazing Systems
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this webinar in which we will discuss a new wireless sensor\, tethered to a smartphone and GIS-based web application\, built to improve the efficiency of measuring/monitoring/managing forage systems. \nOur presentation explains background information about the ecological and economic reasons to invest in measuring pasture productivity. We describe how PaddockTrac improves the process of measuring/monitoring/managing pasture systems. We highlight the infrastructure built to automate the data collection process and the tools to facilitate easier data interpretation. Our information provides producers the ability to be more proactive rather than reactive in managing forage systems. \nDetails here.

SUMMARY:Road-Stream Crossing Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a one-day road-stream crossing tour in Hayward. The tour will stop at several road-stream crossings in the Hayward area and the National Forest to showcase common signs of problems at crossings and on-the-ground designs that were used to address these problems. The tour will provide ample opportunity to discuss design techniques\, short-term and long-term cost benefits of installing flood resilient structures\, who can help you\, and the planning and construction process involved with properly designed structures. \nRegister using this link by September 24 at https://conta.cc/3Ag3aVL \n5 PDHs will be provided. \nWhile we are hopeful we can safely host the event (a) there will likely be safety precaution measures along with a waiver of liability that all attendees must follow\, and that information will be shared prior to the event; (b) there may be last minute changes to the structure of the event; and (c) the event could be cancelled if cases continue to rise. Your patience is appreciated while we navigate the difficult nature around hosting an in-person event during COVID. \nDetails here.
