Effects of restoration treatments on ponderosa pine ecosystems, Front Range, Colorado 2011-2013.
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...
In 2010, Colorado Front Range National Forests were awarded a Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration (CFLR) grant to facilitate the implementation of restoration treatments across 32,000 acres of ponderosa pine-dominated forests. Collaborative, multi-party monitoring of the impacts of restoration was a required component of the grant; however, the budget for this work was limited, and initial monitoring plans for the Arapaho-Roosevelt National Forest (AR) and the Pike-San Isabel National Forest (PSI) did not include a strong emphasis on key components of the ecosystem such as wildlife and understory plants. Members of the Front Range Roundtable, an interagency collaborative with representation from 50+ stakeholder...
