November 2, 2017
Durango, Colorado
Join us for presentations on Bioclimate models and change projections to inform forest adaption in Southwestern Colorado. Forest adaptation can help reduce anticipated impacts of climate change and increase the likelihood of maintaining forest cover into the future. Bioclimate models provide spatially explicit projections of impacts to tree species that can be used to guide adaptation at landscape and project scales.
