Within the Southern Rockies LCC, Colorado’s Front Range contains ecosystems and communities that have major ecological and economic significance. Disturbance regimes in this region have been altered by numerous stressors in recent decades, with significant consequences for human and natural systems. In 2010, the Secretary of Agriculture selected and funded a proposal by the Front Range Roundtable, a multi-stakeholder, interagency collaborative, as one of ten Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration (CFLR) projects nation-wide designed to promote healthier, more resilient forest ecosystems. Restoration treatments, including thinning and prescribed burning, are planned for 1000-3000 acres annually across Front...
The University of California, Davis in partnership with the Navajo Nation is partnering with the Southern Rockies LCC to provide estimates of habitat connectivity for focal species on the Navajo Nation and adjacent lands that the tribe wishes to incorporate into planning and implementation of adaptive management. The project will derive habitat variables as inputs for connectivity models, and model outputs likely will include habitat quality and conductance. Species-specific models will be mathematically integrated to permit probabilistic statements about simultaneous connectivity for two or more species. The spatial data developed on wildlife distributions and habitat to model connectivity and, ultimately, viability...

This data product contains estimates of habitat quality for mountain lion. The analysis area was a 236,000 square kilometers that encompassed the Navajo Nation, which includes portions of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. The estimates of habitat quality were created with spatially explicit habitat variables and either an expert-based linear combination process (for mountain lion and mule deer) or a generalized linear mixed model-based estimation that used radio-collar telemetry data (for desert bighorn sheep, black bear, and pronghorn; collected between 2005-2011). Habitat variables varied among species but included vegetation type, terrain ruggedness, topographic position index (TPI), road density, distance to water,...
Our objective was to model 7-day minimum flow (mean of the annual minimums of a 7-day moving average for each year [cubic feet per second]) on small, ungaged streams in the Upper Colorado River Basin. Modeling streamflows is an important tool for understanding landscape-scale drivers of flow and estimating flows where there are no gaged records. We focused our study in the Upper Colorado River Basin, a region that is not only critical for water resources but also projected to experience large future climate shifts toward a drier climate. We used a random forest modeling approach to model the relation between 7-day minimum flow on gaged streams (115 gages) and environmental variables. We then projected 7-day minimum...
Streamflows in late spring and summer have declined over the last century in the western U.S. and mean annual streamflow is projected to decrease by six to 25% over the next 100 years. In arid and semi-arid regions of the western US, it is likely that some perennial streams will shift to intermittent flow regimes in response to climate-driven changes in timing and magnitude of precipitation, runoff, and evaporation.The project will address the following two research question: how will small stream (1st-3rd order) low flow hydrology be impacted by predicted longer, drier summers in the Upper Colorado River Basin under climate change and in turn, what will be the resulting impacts on riparian plant communities?...

Our actions today to build ecosystem resilience to climate change will help us protect the Gunnison Basin’s natural resources—clean air and wildlife habitat, and the livelihoods they provide in the future for people. The Gunnison Climate Working Group, a group of public and private partners formed in 2010, is looking to understand the threats posed by climate change, identify strategies to reduce adverse impacts, and promote coordinated implementation of these strategies.This group is also collaborating with the Southwest Climate Change Initiative (SWCCI), whose aim is to provide climate adaptation information and tools to conservation practitioners in vulnerable landscapes of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah....

Objectives of this project are to examine historic and current spatial patterns and occurrence of native and non-native fishes relative to thermal regimes in the White River from about Meeker, Colorado to the confluence with the Green River in Utah; to model thermal resources in the White River and its tributaries to gain understanding of preferred thermal requirements for fish species; to determine zones of overlap for native and non-native fishes; and to provide land managers with information that will help protect fish communities in the White River.
