Resiliency and Vulnerability of Boreal Forest Habitat to the Interaction of Climate and Fire Disturbance Across DoD Lands of Interior Alaska
Abstract
We documented wide scale change across the boreal forest ecosystems of central Alaska, as well as a broader spatial domain into Canada, over the past several decades using a diverse and extensive range of field measurements combined with multi-source remote sensing data. These were augmented with spatial models predicting future change, all with the purpose of informing management decisions. A wide range of previously unavailable data sets were documented and made available via active data archive systems that are open access. In some cases, such as data available via Google Earth Engine, these are accompanied with workflows and source code allowing updates to the data sets. We also developed an interface for launching scenarios of management actions and predicting the expected future outcomes of those actions. All of these outcomes were supported by a rich set of publications in peer-reviewed journals.
