CONSIDER CWHvm1-West STAND / ECOSYSTEMS – In a changing climate
CWHvm1-West STAND / ECOSYSTEMS- 2050(PCM & HAD) SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION: Vulnerability Classes Opportunity Classes Low – Stands will suffer minor losses due to climate change. Mod – likely will suffer significant but manageable losses and or secondary risks (fire etc.) High – likely will suffer major losses or incur high secondary risks, but catastrophic losses unlikely. Very High – likelihood for catastrophic losses are high. Nil – No opportunity to enhance growth. Minor – Minor growth enhancement likely. Significant – significant growth enhancement likely.
CWHvm1-West STAND / ECOSYSTEMS- 2050(PCM & HAD) SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION:
CWHvm1-West STAND / ECOSYSTEMS- 2050(PCM & HAD) SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION:
CWHvm1-West Ecol. Suitable Regen – Now and Future • MESIC SITE DISCUSSION : • What are the vulnerabilities and why? (drought / insects / disease?) • What are the opportunities – where / when? • What are the outstanding questions?
CWHvm1-West Regeneration Vulnerabilities & Opportunities Mesic Sites • Added Comments: • Bg – seems like the mountains only limitation to getting out here anyway. • Need to be cautious – trial basis – try on the lower end first. We have Ba anyway. • Ba – grows well – should be no problems • Hw and Cw – should be not issues. • Fd – be diligent – be careful where it goes – warm, dry slopes low down – not expanding it outside of where it already is. • Pw – too wet – prone to Dothestroma – endemic and could be a big problem with more humidity
CWHvm1-West Regeneration Vulnerabilities & Opportunities Mesic Sites • Added Comments: • Other species – • Dr – will be good to get a bit more in to increase diversity, and also should grow a bit better. • Ss – same as the vh – resistant stock – may actually grow better here with more warmth and resistant stock.
