Abstract | This report provides a systematic regional-scale assessment of biodiversity, fire regime change, and fire risk to infrastructure of forested watersheds across the Sierra Nevada and prioritizes watersheds for forest restoration where the greatest risk reduction to biodiversity and human infrastructure can be achieved. For priority watersheds, this report also provides an assessment of how much fuels reduction has already occurred in recent years and how accessible watersheds are for proactive restoration. This analysis will inform efforts to increase the pace and scale of forest restoration by helping prioritize investments where a high return on restoration investment can be achieved in the region over the next 10-20 years, and accelerate restoration of this vulnerable ecosystem. |
