生产林业为佛罗里达州带来了巨大的利益，包括提供生态系统服务，如调节水量和水质，提供野生动物栖息地和碳固存，并支持80，000个工作岗位和163.4亿美元/年的经济活动。预计北方佛罗里达和南格鲁吉亚生产林区到世纪末的气候将导致潜在火炬松和湿地松种植园生产力大幅增加，范围为5-35%，具体取决于排放情景、物种和位置。气候变化可能会影响野火和风暴等非生物干扰的发生时间和频率，也会改变森林害虫、病理系统和森林水资源的动态。但对这些影响的性质的预测仍然不确定。无论如何，事实是，种植园林一直是保护区域水资源数量和质量的重要组成部分，随着气候变化和气候对水资源产生不利影响的可能性增加，人工林将继续是健康的生产性景观的基本特征。使森林管理适应不断变化的气候的关键将是审慎地应用造林工具，例如竞争控制、密度和肥力管理以及为每个地点适当选择物种。随着气候条件的变化，对森林管理人员来说，跟上与这些工具有关的研究进展将越来越重要。此外，制定主要侧重于私有森林的可行政策选项，有助于保护佛罗里达现有的森林及其带来的好处，并鼓励投资于现有林地的重新造林和在以前没有森林的土地上种植新的森林。
Production forestry provides substantial benefits to the state of Florida, including the provision of ecosystem services, such as regulation of water quantity and quality, provision of wildlife habitat and carbon sequestration, and supporting 80,000 jobs and $16.34 billion/year in economic activity. Climate through the end of the century in the production forestry regions of northern Florida and southern Georgia is predicted to result in substantial increases in potential loblolly pine and slash pine plantation productivity, ranging from 5–35% depending on emissions scenario, species, and location. Climate change is likely to affect the timing and frequency of abiotic disturbances, such as wildfire and windstorms, and will also change the dynamics of forest pests, pathosystems, and forest water resources. But predictions about the nature of these impacts remains uncertain. Regardless, the fact is that plantation forests have been a vital part of protecting regional water quantity and quality, and they will continue to be essential features of healthy productive landscapes, as climate changes and the potential for adverse climate impacts on water resources increases. The key to adapting forest management to changing climate will be the considered application of silvicultural tools, such as competition control, density and fertility management, and proper choice of species for each site. Keeping abreast of research advances related to these tools will be increasingly important for forest managers as climate conditions change. In addition, the development of viable policy options focused primarily on privately owned forests can help protect Florida’s existing forests and the benefits they provide, and encourage investment in reforestation of existing forestland and planting new forests on previously unforested land.
