Current and projected climatic change is threatening montane and subalpine species in National Parks throughout the western U.S., including those within the Klamath, Upper Columbia Basin, and Sierra Nevada Networks. Scenario planning is needed to help protected-area decision-makers identify and prepare for potentially substantial changes to high-elevation ecosystems. The National Park Service and the Oregon Institute of Technology will collaborate to conduct climate change scenario planning for montane and subalpine species, focusing on whitebark pine (Pinus albicaula) and pika (Ochotona princeps). Phase 1 of this project will develop a framework for scenario planning across these networks by initiating the Orientation and Exploration [...]
