A Framework for Quantifying Resilience to Forest Disturbance

Abstract: The concept of ecological resilience is an invaluable tool to assess the risk of state transitions and predict the impact of management on an ecosystem's response to future disturbances. However, resilience is difficult to quantify and the factors contributing to resilience are often unknown in systems subject to multiple disturbances. Here, we develop and demonstrate a framework to assess the potential of ponderosa pine and dry mixed conifer forests to be resilient to future disturbance (recover as the same f… Show more

“…also influence other disturbance dynamics such as fire, mortality from drought, and ecosystem services such as snowpack dynamics [95][96][97]. As many national forests in the United States and other public forest lands globally move to a shared stewardship approach, forest planners will need numerous tools to assess and develop restoration strategies [98], especially as goals shift from considering historical conditions (in the US, often pre-European colonization), to considering current or future function (transition for climate change adaptation) [88]. While our model was built for a suite of bark beetles (Dendrodoctus spp.)…”

“…FVS is an individual tree-based forest growth model that uses tree lists to model the response of stands to silvicultural prescriptions for a desired period. FVS is a widely used tool in forest management decision-making throughout the US (e.g., Nunery and Keeton, 2010;Bryant et al, 2019;Chen et al, 2019;Gunn et al, 2020) and is an accepted modeling tool in the primary carbon offset methodologies (e.g., California Air Resources Board and American Carbon Registry). The FVS Fire and Fuels Extension allows above-and belowground forest carbon stocks (both dead and alive) to be tracked separately over time.…”

“…This may include measuring the progress of assisted migration of climate change-adapted provenances and (native and nonnative) tree species (Bolte et al 2009). Indicators could be the percentage of a drought-adapted provenance or tree species, or forest structural parameters that measure disturbance resistance and resilience (Bryant et al 2019;Temperli et al 2020). These difference-indicators could be advantageous for a more targeted adaptation process, but may also create challenges with regard to comparability across stands, landscapes, or countries, because management targets need to be defined specifically for each spatial entity.…”
