Article 1
Evaluation of Climate Change susceptibility, natural possessions have been in function in
regions of North America for almost over a decade (Halofsky et al., 2018). Over the past 10
years, substantial advancement has been made in developing susceptibility evaluation
mechanism and applies these to distinguish as well as execute climate change adjustment
procedures for forest ecological unit and forest management organisations functioning in Canada
and in the United States. The article by Halofsky et al., (2018) explicitly mentioned the requisite
for advanced approaches as well as theoretical framework for climate change. The demand for
advanced tools and approaches has specifically been based on the identification among forest
managers in these two countries whereby climate change has been encountered by series of
critical challenges. The article published by Elsevier noted that the Canadian forest sector obtains
certain rights in order to produce timber on ground and through varied forms of the tenured
provisions(Halofsky et al., 2018). These measures however have been aimed for greater amount
of industrial development, which tend to be either area based or longer period of around 20
years. The authors of the article observed that core components of the conceptual framework
which combined conducting thorough knowledge based liability assessment along with
performing adaptation methods to successfully understand forest management adaptation
towards the change in climatic conditions. However, Halofsky et al., (2018) claimed that on the
ground presentations, which are regarded as slow in developing, have been initiated to increase
the climate change adaptation process. Meanwhile, the authors have concluded the article by
proposing approaches for acceleration of application of variation in Canada and the US in order
to establish on the achievements of Federal Institutions and further expand to public, private as
well as ground lands for forest management purposes(Halofsky et al., 2018).

Article 2
Endogenous measures related to forest maturity are recognised as acute causes of forest
dynamics. Valuing changes in climatic conditions that tend to influence plantation or forestry
biomass has been recognised to be crucial in analysing the level of influence of the world's forest
towards global carbon cycle(Chen et al., 2016). The fundamental purpose of this article has been
to evaluate the significant influence of climatic adjustments on forest net biomass. These
biomasses are negatively analysed but serious in forecasting forests offerings to the Global
carbon cycle. The authors of the paper have drawn significance on recent evaluation in order to
signify climate change related net biomass deterioration in developed forestry plots. Chen et al.,
(2016) implemented some theoretical methods such as forest age determination and climate
change drivers in order to recognize the level of impact climate change drivers have made on the
development of net biomass alteration. The article published in forest letters has derived Co2
evaluation procedures from the Mauna Loa Earth System Research Laboratory located in Hawaii
and obtained the annual temperature rate as well as climate humidity index produced by biosim
10 software models (Chen et al., 2016). However when coring has been in the process of forest
East determination, the approximate ring totals of the tree examples for the living beings were
used in order to provide a traditional approximation for time . Furthermore, the paper by Chen et
al., (2016) has shed light on the demands and needs of forest-edge profiles in order to analyse
previous as well as projecting prospective future responses towards climate change.
