What are examples of adaptation strategies in western wildlands?
* A: The following are potential adaptation approaches. Not all recommendations listed are appropriate to all situations; methods must be carefully evaluated to fit the case in hand. • Increase landscape and watershed resiliance and diversity • Increase resilience at large spatial scales–Treatments and spatial configurations that minimize loss of large number of structural and functional groups • Increase size of management units–Much larger treatments and age/structural classes. Plan and manage by watersheds and basins where appropriate. • Maintain connectivity • Maintain biological diversity • Modify genetic guidelines • Experiment with mixed species and mixed genotypes • Implement species triage • Assist colonization and establish neo-native species • Identify species, populations, and communities that are sensitive to increased disturbance • Plan for postdisturbance management • Treat fire and other ecological disturbance as normal, periodic occurrences • Incorporate fire managem
