Projecting the future of US forests, rangelands

“Let’s talk about how we can plan for the future and make sure we are prepared.”
– Sonja Oswalt, forest resources analyst and 2020 Assessment coauthor

The Resources Planning Act Assessment arose in the early 1970s amid concerns about future resource scarcity — think the energy crisis and the growing environmental movement. Fifty years later, as climate change drives wildfire, drought, floods, and other disturbances, the 2020 Resources Planning Act Assessment<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ltRxOYbv7G-9OjiUE8g3deXat0Te-OyNa4C_PfarCbQ-SuP82GenxeaOWEH6Z5vlQorXfLMKkzkgAkHSBo32SzueFfcaxhUlHORD2oyrsLvgstfDnUjfYqVKIDl3Oxom-2l8ygYgMssTcsNySN7Y8djcL_MZHoCN-yN_6DEz_5KyJIZGuxH_FUPbvH8IvP_t5TWEeBhVTOir3flHiWLXkTYSfD0dK2CW6ECJp0luR38QbZTUk1DkhX12-g45dbnkBp2G3e06T-Ox1dT7DgnvGy0BBLbt8slUC9akCT5bgrY98Vgq7O7qjB2hk5PzOcRX7aqQzGtsu5LVyhXO59RgJ1nBOSMuUYwF2GK2GnwYylcP9-5N5pZmEvDlLLVS6grb-mMKitolyl7_4Lha2D-KY8b81FuSEw_v8Hh4e9KYPwB0slR6xDV1SZ4OKES-ovGkSohaIbkCIjQdd__JOx61DgpKUNi9Rku0M5CAk5aT8BRx8IyXbjqfmEcHSRojbV04msJTOl1LU-aiC0i2_UeZudJ9WZXVLi7AbpMU6g74XUJUDd7vst-bvJcDWjDOZhfogdzDmyJVuojq2r6Z4jKc1uA2HMQOcN4iralOUA_paFJ4I7iNyp0EFnSZmpHATRCY4z49AUE6TGlyPsyL9Pv6EjO81NFkDRKxTNkX30yGmn_xDUaIL3GMTnbg2H_u2qhH4igpshN_Bc6FaN-kCXwLcPqFRnP0q6jTCpzWTCNXc00tgVMSGMQ_zqkpj_lamlm0&c=nvmQL3bp1UMQz3v28RI_ZZ4VxUOV4drDJUIydamBuMfEYS8jMDygPA==&ch=Op6WNJW2WOImCGDgZz9fisTF4x1ojeo4HHl5Sc0jSXwueb9tUhrJUg==> clues us in on what to expect over the next five decades.

The Resources Planning Act Assessment reports on the past, present, and future of renewable resources on public and private forests and rangelands. Assessment findings rely on a range of plausible scenarios incorporating variables such as greenhouse gas emissions and economic growth. Findings assume no changes to current policies and practices; resource managers can use them to inform decisions and influence positive change.

What does the 2020 Assessment forecast?

Land development will continue to threaten forests. In the last 50 years, nearly half of all land developed was converted from forests and rangelands.

Forests will store more carbon, but the rate at which it accumulates will decrease — mostly because of aging forests, increasing disturbances, and forests converting to other uses.

Forest Service employees care for the land and
serve people, and the 2020 Resources Planning
Act Assessment helps us serve future
generations. For almost 50 years, the Resources
Planning Act Assessment has reported statuses,
trends, and projections for natural resources. The
report also analyzes how socioeconomic and
biophysical factors affect ecosystem goods and
services. The 2020 Assessment provides insight
into the projected availability and condition of our
renewable resources, helping us make informed
decisions today to serve present and future
generations.
