Monitoring - Evaluation [16]
Evaluation Name:
Inidivdual Evaluation - Climate Change
Evaluation:
Alert:
(I1) Increasing trends in frequency /magnitude of climate extremes and related disturbance, (I2) NNIS introductions/increasies in forest health risk, (I3) Inability to meet desired fire return intervals, (I4) Woody encroachment/changes in hydrology, (I5) Habitat degradation or loss due to climate influences, (I6) Declines attributable to climate influences
Adaptive Strategy:
(I1) Strengthen disturbance response capabilities and assess implications during project development, (I2) Rapid detection and treatment, (I3) Adjust prescribed burning schedules and take advantage of desirable conditions, (I4) Vegetation management if feasible/hydrologic restoration, (I5) Promote amphibian habitat through placement of coarse woody material piles and other features that retain moisture during dry periods, (I6) See species specific adaptive management strategies
Research Needs:
(I1) Regional system for delivery and supporting evaolaution of climate trend information (e.g.,TACCIMO), including alerts when new information is available or trends are detected, (I1-5) Regional ecosystem status and trend reporting system based on intensified FIA sampling, (I3) System for evaluating patterns and trends in prescibed burning based on MTBS and corporate data, (I6) Regional system for evaluating trends in focal species.
