Soil Vulnerability to Future Climate in the S. Rockies LCC
CBI staff will develop tools for managers in all watersheds of the Southern Rockies Landscape Conservation Cooperative to project the effects of climate change on soil water conditions and help them develop appropriate strategies to mitigate negative climate impacts. The overall goals of this project are: (1) To develop a spatially-explicit soil vulnerability index for the Southern Rockies Landscape Conservation ... Creating a Soil Vulnerability Index for North Pacific LCC
This project will develop a soil vulnerability index and map indicating where forest cover will be most affected by climate change. Using this map, we will develop a greater understanding of potential changes in soil moisture and temperature regimes under future climate conditions. We will evaluate how this information can be used to improve vegetation models across the landscape. We ... Biological Monitoring on the Crestridge Ecological Reserve and South Crest Properties, San Diego County, CA
The Crestridge Ecological Reserve (CER) and the South Crest properties in San Diego County, California form a core block of habitat that serves as a landscape linkage between the northern and southern parts of the San Diego Multiple Species Conservation Plan (MSCP) area. Thus, management of these properties is critical to resources on other conserved lands, including the Cleveland National ... Wind, Wings, & Wilderness
The Conservation Biology Institute, through a grant from the David and Lucille Packard Foundation, is working with BLM and USFWS to develop a science-based regional planning framework for the wind energy region of the eastern Tehachapi Mountains and southeastern Sierra. The project is intended to facilitate decision-making on a regional basis, per the recent federal guidance policies, through spatially-explicit and ... Multi-hazards Demonstration: Fire Scenario
The primary response to reducing catastrophic fire losses has been fire control with the goal of preventing large fire events. However, growing evidence suggests we will likely never be able to eliminate fires on highly fire-prone landscapes. Thus, in conjunction with analysis of traditional fire management approaches (including fuel breaks and suppression), we are exploring a range of alternative approaches ... 136 SW Washington Avenue, Suite 202, Corvallis, OR 97333 • ph: (541) 757-0687 • fax: (541) 752-0518 • info@consbio.org
