Reduce existing non-climate stressors on forest ecosystems. A first step in improving climate resilience is to limit the effects of current stressors such as roads and bridges (that can lead to habitat fragmentation) and pollution that can affect the health and vitality of the forest species. Indirect climate related stressors include the proliferation of invasive species which, if removed, can help stabilize ecosystems and return forests to a more natural state. Reducing these existing stressors can increase the health of the forest and make it better able to handle extreme weather events.
