Create landscape patterns that are resilient to past and expected disturbance regimes

Approach

Create landscape patterns that are resilient to past and expected disturbance regimes.

Tactics

Continue research on expected future disturbance regimes; evaluate potential transitions and thresholds

Improve communication across boundaries

Manage for diversity of structure and patch size with fire and mechanical treatments

Sensitivity

Disturbances will change landscape-scale patterns- structure and species composition- relative abundance- and species distribution patterns.

Strategy

Realign following severe disturbance
