Introduction

Abstract

The Pacific Southwest Region of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service (USFS), in collaboration with the USFS Pacific Northwest and Pacific Southwest Research Stations and the Office of Sustainability and Climate, formed a science-management partnership and conducted a climate change vulnerability assessment for infrastructure and recreation in Sierra Nevada national forests. The vulnerability assessment set the stage for developing adaptation options in a series of science-management workshops. The outcomes of the effort, called the Sierra Nevada Infrastructure and Recreation Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Partnership, are described in this report.
