Fens mapping for the Rio Grande National Forest
(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2016-04) Smith, Gabrielle, author; Lemly, Joanna, author; Smith, Pam, author; Kuhn, Bernadette, author; Colorado Natural Heritage Program, publisher
The Rio Grande National Forest (RGNF) covers nearly two million acres within the Rio Grande Headwaters River Basin in south central Colorado. The diverse geography of the RGNF created an equally diverse set of wetlands that provide important ecological services to both RGNF and lands downstream. Organic soil wetlands known as fens are an irreplaceable resource that the U.S. Forest Service has determined should be managed for conservation and restoration. Fens are defined as groundwater-fed wetlands with organic soils that typically support sedges and low stature shrubs. In the arid west, organic soil formation can take thousands of years. Long-term maintenance of fens requires maintenance of both the hydrology and the plant communities that enable fen formation. ... The Rio Grande National Forest contains a rich resource of fen wetlands. This report and associated dataset provide the RGNF with a critical tool for conservation planning at both a local and Forest-wide scale. These data will be useful for the ongoing RGNF biological assessment required by the 2012 Forest Planning Rule, but can also be used for individual management actions, such as planning for timber sales, grazing allotments, and trail maintenance. Wherever possible, the Forest should avoid direct disturbance to the fens mapped through this project, and should also strive to protect the watersheds surrounding high concentrations of fens, thereby protecting their water sources.

Noxious weed monitoring (year 14) & mapping at the U.S. Air Force Academy and Farish
(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2019-05) Smith, Pam, author; Greenwell, Amy, author; Colorado Natural Heritage Program, publisher
This report summarizes the results of the past fourteen years of population monitoring of noxious weeds at the U.S. Air Force Academy ("the Academy") and Farish Recreation Area ("Farish"). Basewide monitoring has been conducted at the Academy at five year intervals: 2002, 2007, 2012 and 2018. (2002, 2007, 2012 and 2017 at Farish). In between years, areal mapping at known sites was conducted at the Academy for species with low cover and permanent plots were used to monitor widespread noxious weed species at the Academy (2018) and Farish (2016). These data are used to determine population trends. The 2018 basewide survey included 26 species that were mapped across the Academy and Farish. Four new species of noxious weeds were included in the 2018 survey, three new noxious weeds at the Academy and one at Farish. Site plans are provided as separate attachments to assist with weed management activities in 2019 for three areas: Northeast Jack's Valley Seep, Farish Fen with a globally imperiled (G2) grass species Porter's feathergrass (Ptilogrostis porteri) and the Farish site with the newly discovered (2018) orange hawkweed.

The basin-wide projects and this current study have two major components: digital wetland mapping and field-based assessments. Digital National Wetland Inventory (NWI) maps are created by digitizing existing paper maps or updating maps based on new aerial photography. These maps are then used to summarize the types, abundance, and distribution of wetlands in a defined geographic area. Field-based assessments are conducted to examine the ecological condition and stressors present at individual wetlands. These assessments can be used to provide an overall picture of wetlands across the study area. The overall goal of the basin-wide assessments, as well as this study, is to provide land managers with information to inform conservation and restoration efforts.
