Collins, Colorado.April 30, 2017.Includes bibliographical references.Utilizing climate stories to understand the social and ecological impacts to the sagebrush landscape, the team worked with stakeholders to develop three overarching landscape‐scale adaptation strategies. Each of the strategies has a suite of potential actions required to reach a desired future condition. The three key strategies are: 1) identify and protect climate refugia sites (persistent areas), 2) maintain or enhance the resilience of the climate refugia sites, and 3) accept, assist and allow for transformation in non‐climate refugia sites. If adopted by the local community, including land managers and landowners, the framework and strategies resulting from this project can help to reduce the adverse impacts of climate change, allowing for a more sustainable human and natural landscape.born digitalreportsengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
