- Description
- It is proposed to undertake a three-part, multi-year and multi-disciplinary research and assessment project that addresses issues related to climate warming, vegetation manipulation, and the forest water cycle. The three components of the work plan are: i) Measurements at sites of opportunity where fire or thinning treatments have taken place, are taking place, or are proposed. ii) Meta-analysis and modeling using available data to interpret these results. iii) Evaluation of multiple ecosystem services and how multiple service providers (land and resource owners/ managers) can effectively interact with service consumers (downstream and downhill residents).
