“Houston, we have a problem.”<br />
Expectations: Forests are being viewed as essential for climate<br />
<strong>change</strong> mitigation via carbon sequestration <strong>and</strong> biomass production<br />
on a global scale.<br />
Fears: Will there be so many deleterious <strong>change</strong>s to <strong>forest</strong>s in a very<br />
short time that <strong>forest</strong>s cannot sustain themselves?<br />
