Science for Managers webinar header

Defining and identifying forest refugia and implications for future resiliency
April 18, 2024 | 2–3:30 p.m. MDT
Registration required
 

Co-hosted by Rocky Mountain Research Station and Southwest Ecological Restoration Institutes.

From Haire et al. 2022, Figure 7. Pine species-specific microrefugia in the Madrean sky islands.

Join us to understand more about climate and fire refugia. Researchers will 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 will include potential use of mapped refugia to inform prioritization of management scenarios before, during and after fire.
