Revegetate with native plant species

Approach

Revegetate with native plant species

Tactics

Use seeding of native plant species in areas with nonnative species

Plant seeds with biochar coating

Reduce grazing practices that encourage spread of nonnative species

Apply herbicides and other direct eradication methods

Sensitivity

Increased warming drought and wildfire will reduce tree vigor and increase susceptibility to insects and pathogens - with increased potential for large and extensive insect and pathogen outbreaks particularly of nonnative insects and pathogens.

Strategy

Maintain and enhance species and structural diversity

RELATED TO THIS APPROACH:

Climate Change Effects
