Defining and identifying forest refugia and implications for future resiliency
Webinar Date
Thursday, 4/18/2024, 2 – 3:30pm MDT
Co-hosted by Rocky Mountain Research Station and Southwest Ecological Restoration Institutes
Watch to understand more about climate and fire refugia. Researchers share the impact of warming and increased fire severity on forest regeneration, and methods of identifying refugia from both climate and fire across hierarchical scales. Discussions include potential use of mapped refugia to inform prioritization of management scenarios before, during, and after fire.
