Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Rocky Mountain CESU: The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Fort Collins Science Center (FORT) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner to integrate research related to forest and woodland disturbance. The research will primarily support the assessment of drought impacts in semi-arid woodland ecosystems in southwestern Wyoming and northwestern Colorado. Increasing trends in mortality of aspen and conifer forests have been documented across western North America and recent mortality of these species has been observed in southwestern Wyoming. Partners, including the Bureau of Land Management and Wyoming Game and Fish remain committed to a cooperative process to help insure that the data products and results we produce will inform regional and local decisions. Research conducted in other ecosystems (managed by the Department of the Interior) using related techniques may be integrated into this project.
