6 Atlantic Rainforest Restoration The Atlantic rainforest once covered 400,000 square miles Only 7% remains 450 tree species per hectare 2.7% of world’s plant species just in what is left Testing innovative funding mechanisms  U.S. companies paying for carbon sequestration How do we restore it?

7 National Forest System Lands

8 Critical Roles for the Matrix 1.Supporting populations of species 2.Regulating the movement of organisms 3.Buffering sensitive areas and reserves 4.Maintaining the integrity of aquatic ecosystems

9 Matrix Management Principles 1.Maintenance of connectivity 2.Maintenance of landscape heterogeneity 3.Maintenance of stand complexity 4.Maintenance of intact aquatic ecosystems 5.Risk-spreading

15 Red-Cockaded Woodpecker ( Picoides borealis ) Population declines due to loss of habitat Requires mature (70-100 year old) long-leaf pine forests for nesting Requires open-canopied, single- layered structure maintained by low intensity fire Forestry practices now the leading problem: Short-rotation silviculture Fire suppression

16 Historical Range of the Red-cockaded Woodpecker Historic: 74-92 millions acres of longleaf pine ecosystems on coastal plains of the southeast Current: 3 million acres remaining

17 Matrix Management Examples for Red-Cockaded Woodpecker Federal ESA Recovery Plan Pending International Paper Habitat Conservation Plan for Southlands Experimental Forest in Bainbridge, Georgia 1.Requires conservation of 1,500 acres of suitable nesting habitat 2.Increase this to 5,000 acres 3. Goal of 25-30 nesting clusters

18 What forestry practices should private companies and government agencies follow? -> Conclusion: Maximizing NPV results in a net reduction of suitable habitat. Moderate NPV scenarios provide sufficient habitat
