Of the Resistance, Resilience, and Transition treatments implemented at the Northern Rockies ASCC site, the Transition treatment’s approach to future-adapted seedlings stands out as the most proactive regeneration strategy in the local experiment. We share the strategy, how we arrived there, and the steps to execution along the way.

Learning Objectives:

  • Upon completion, participants will be able to decribe the silvicultural treatments and the regeneration approach used at the northern Rockies ASCC site, including use of forest assisted migration in a bet-hedging approach.
