Increase resilience of vegetation types at high elevations

Approach

Tactics

Increase heterogeneity through prescribed fire.
Use fire behavior and spatial modeling to identify high-priority areas to reduce or maintain fuels.
Use silvicultural practices (e.g., prescribed fire, thinning, daylighting/radial thinning) to reduce fire hazard.

Sensitivity

• Higher elevation forests may burn more frequently with climate change.

Strategy

Reduce the risk and long-term impacts of severe disturbances
