COLORADO'S FORESTS PROVIDE DIVERSE ECOSYSTEM SERVICES INCLUDING TOURISM, FOREST PRODUCTS, GRAZING, CLEAN WATER, CARBON SEQUESTRATION, WILDLIFE HABITAT, AND RECREATION. THESE SERVICES ARE THREATENED BY HIGH TREE MORTALITY FROM WILDFIRE, BARK BEETLES, AND OTHER DISTURBANCES INCLUDING URBANIZATION AND CLIMATE CHANGE. THE COLORADO STATE FOREST SERVICE (CSFS) IS PART OF COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY, AND IS A CONDUIT FOR APPLYING SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH TO BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES THAT MITIGATE THESE THREATS. THIS LINKAGE CAN BE LEVERAGED TO GENERATE INNOVATIVE APPROACHES AND ANSWER PRESSING QUESTIONS IN CLIMATE ADAPTIVE FORESTRY THROUGH THE INTEGRATION OF 50+ YEARS OF INTER- AND INTRA-AGENCY DATA AND INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE. HOWEVER, HISTORIC DATA AND INFORMATION REQUIRE DIGITIZATION TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH CONTEMPORARY DATA, AND ACCESSIBLE WEB-BASED APPLICATIONS ARE NEEDED TO PROMOTE THEIR UTILIZATION. THIS PROJECT WILL (1) COMPILE, ORGANIZE, AND DIGITIZE LEGACY CSFS DATA AND INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE, (2) CREATE WEB-BASED DECISION-SUPPORT APPLICATIONS TO ACCESS AND SUMMARIZE THESE DATA, (3) DEMONSTRATE THE UTILITY OF THE APPLICATIONS BY INVESTIGATING HOW MANAGEMENT, WILDFIRES, INSECT OUTBREAKS, AND CLIMATE CHANGE ARE SHAPING THE FUTURE COMPOSITION, STRUCTURE, AND FUNCTION OF COLORADO'S FORESTS AND HOW THIS CAN THIS INFORM CLIMATE-ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT? AND (4) DISSEMINATE RESEARCH RESULTS THROUGH THE WEB-BASED APPLICATIONS AND MAKE FOREST MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS THROUGH OUTREACH PUBLICATIONS. STAKEHOLDERS INCLUDING CSFS COLLABORATORS AND LAND MANAGERS WILL BE ENGAGED FOR INPUT AND FEEDBACK THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT. COMBINED WITH TRAINING, RESEARCH PRODUCTS CREATED IN THIS PROJECT WILL ENABLE A NEW GENERATION OF CSFS FORESTERS TO LINK ON-THE-GROUND EFFORTS WITH LANDSCAPE-LEVEL DATA TO PROMOTE FOREST AND WATERSHED HEALTH.
