Approach
Identify and map potential refugia for subalpine forests and identify threats to refugia (e.g., fire, beetle outbreaks) for various seral stages.
Tactics
- Map refugia
- Conduct prescribed fire and exclude wildfire.
- Thin
- Treat individual trees with pheromones
- Actively or passively promote growth
- Monitor
- Inform public
- and communicate changes
- Consider invasive species when prioritizing refugia
- and find resistant types in already-infested stands
- Recognize diversity in understory
- and control for invasive species
