Colorado Front Range
The term “landscape structure” refers to the configuration of vegetation and other land features over a large land area (usually an extent of many square kilometers). A landscape can be regarded as a mosaic composed of patches of different kinds— for example, different forest types, landforms, or human-built structures such as roads. The scientific discipline of landscape ecology is concerned w...
متن کاملAn Analysis of Tree Regeneration following the Hayman Fire in the Upper-Montane Zone of the Colorado Front Range
Studies of tree regeneration following forest fires along the Colorado Front Range offer valuable insights into how climate change could be influencing conifer seedling establishment statewide. While the relatively hotter and drier conditions observed along the Front Range may not be enough to lethally damage mature trees, there is a strong potential that these novel conditions could prevent th...
متن کاملFire history and tree recruitment in the Colorado Front Range upper montane zone: implications for forest restoration.
Forests experiencing moderate- or mixed-severity fire regimes are presumed to be widespread across the western United States, but few studies have characterized these complex disturbance regimes and their effects on contemporary forest structure. Restoration of pre-fire-suppression open-forest structure to reduce the risk of uncharacteristic stand-replacing fires is a guiding principle in fores...
متن کاملNew particle formation in the front range of the Colorado Rocky Mountains
New particle formation is of interest because of its influence on the properties of aerosol population, and due to the possible contribution of newly formed particles to cloud condensation nuclei. Currently no conclusive evidence exists as to the mechanism or mechanisms of nucleation and subsequent particle growth. However, nucleation 5 rates exhibit a clear dependence on ambient sulphuric acid...
متن کاملEpizoötic vesicular stomatitis in Colorado, 1982: isolation of virus from insects collected along the northern Colorado Rocky Mountain Front Range.
J. Med. Entomol. 25(5): 343-347 (1988) ABSTRACT Field studies were conducted during an epizootic of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) in Colorado to further assess the possible role of insects in the transmission of VSV. Insects associated with domestic livestock were collected at 11 premises along the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado during the 1982 epizootic of vesicular stomatit...
