Reduced snowpack & soil frost

Monitor and detect change in seedling survival, species composition, and mortality of mature trees in subalpine forests

Maintain or restore riparian areas

Maintain or restore hydrology

Reduce competition for moisture, nutrients, and light

Reduce impacts to soils and nutrient cycling

Improve our understanding of the effects of climatic variability and change on alpine plant species

Increase knowledge of rates and patterns of tree establishment and regeneration failures

Accelerate restoration of cold upland and subalpine forests where appropriate

Protect cold upland and subalpine forests by restoring forests at lower elevations, thus reducing spread of large crown fires

Protect rare and disjunct tree species

Prioritize and maintain unique sites

Alter forest structure to reduce severity or extent of extreme weather events

Acquire information to develop understanding of alpine community sensitivity to climate change.

Maintain species, age class, and genetic diversity

Manage habitats over a range of sites and conditions

Manage for species and genotypes with wide moisture and temperature tolerances

Increase population resilience of subalpine-dependent species
