4 Critical vulnerabilities Exposure: -- Warmer temps earlier snowmelt longer and deeper drought. -- High severity fire. -- Fire exclusion. -- Pollution (ozone), non-native invasives & pathogens, direct human impacts (trampling, etc).
5 Critical vulnerabilities Exposure: -- Warmer temps earlier snowmelt longer and deeper drought. -- High severity fire. -- Fire exclusion. -- Pollution (ozone), non-native invasives & pathogens, direct human impacts (trampling, etc). Sensitivity: -- Spatial variation in water requirements & availability. -- Probability of severe fire; resilience to severe fire.
6 Exposure: -- Warmer temps earlier snowmelt longer and deeper drought. -- High severity fire. -- Fire exclusion. -- Pollution (ozone), non-native invasives & pathogens, direct human impacts (trampling, etc). Sensitivity: -- Spatial variation in water requirements & availability. -- Probability of severe fire; resilience to severe fire. Adaptive capacity: -- Genetic diversity. -- Migration potential. -- Other management actions. Critical vulnerabilities
7 Current objectives -- OVERARCHING: Protect, restore, and maintain naturally functioning giant sequoia groves. NOTES: Groves include all associated species and their interactions. Some stewards have somewhat different objectives (e.g. Mountain Home mandate includes timber production).
8 Current objectives -- OVERARCHING: Protect, restore, and maintain naturally functioning giant sequoia groves. NOTES: Groves include all associated species and their interactions. Some stewards have somewhat different objectives (e.g. Mountain Home mandate includes timber production). -- DETAILS: Sequoia regeneration, natural hydrology, historical fire regime, education & recreation, cultural & social values, protect iconic sequoia trees.
9 Current objectives -- OVERARCHING: Protect, restore, and maintain naturally functioning giant sequoia groves.
10 Current objectives -- OVERARCHING: Protect, restore, and maintain naturally functioning giant sequoia groves. Retrofitted objectives -- SHORT-TERM: Protect prioritized giant sequoia groves. Notes: Acknowledges that we can t necessarily protect all groves from all stresses. Drops objective of restoring to a particular historic condition (or historic range of conditions). Prioritization will include all the usual criteria we consider, PLUS climatic changes.
11 Current objectives -- OVERARCHING: Protect, restore, and maintain naturally functioning giant sequoia groves. Retrofitted objectives -- SHORT-TERM: Protect prioritized giant sequoia groves. Notes: Acknowledges that we can t necessarily protect all groves from all stresses. Drops objective of restoring to a particular historic condition (or historic range of conditions). Prioritization will include all the usual criteria we consider, PLUS climatic changes. -- LONG-TERM: (1) Establish new sequoia groves in other parts of the Sierra Nevada bioregion. (2) Preserve genetic biodiversity.
12 Strategies & tools: Manage for persistence (short-term) -- RESIST CHANGE: Irrigate groves. Plant sequoia seedlings in current groves to ensure adequate regeneration. Install strategically placed fuel breaks. Maintain in-situ and ex-situ gene banks. Control invasives and insect outbreaks.
13 Strategies & tools: Manage for persistence (short-term) -- RESIST CHANGE: Irrigate groves. Plant sequoia seedlings in current groves to ensure adequate regeneration. Install strategically placed fuel breaks. Maintain in-situ and ex-situ gene banks. Control invasives and insect outbreaks. -- INCREASE RESILIENCE: Prescribed fire. Mechanical thinning. Allow selected wildfires to burn. Re-establish natural hydrology where impacted. Eliminate grazing. Early detection and control of non-native invasives. Reduce other stressors (e.g. pollution, soil compaction, etc.).
14 Strategies & tools: Manage for change (long-term) -- FACILITATE TRANSFORMATION: Plant in new areas with suitable soil & future climate Collect seed and/or establish living seed banks with known genetic make-up. (Understand genetic and functional diversity of sequoia.) Plant with drought resistant genotypes. (Inter-agency cooperation and management.)

(Understand genetic and functional diversity of sequoia.) Plant with drought resistant genotypes. (Inter-agency cooperation and management.) -- EXTREME EVENTS Plan for large-scale high-severity fire or vegetation die-off: Learn from other places how they responded, what worked well, and prepare for these events ahead of time. Prepare for (incl. compliance) pre-planned but location-flexible experiment with erosion controls & planting plan to test more adapted genotypes and species, etc.
