The open-access, scientific journal Diversity published the paper, An Ecoregional Conservation Assessment for the Klamath-Siskiyou Ecoregion and Proposed Siskiyou Crest Climate Refuge, Southwest Oregon and Northern California, USA. This Ecoregional Conservation Assessment (ECA) provides an in-depth look at the values of the Siskiyou Crest region, charts a path towards protection targets of 30% and 50% of the landscape, models future climate scenarios, identifies climate refugia attributes, examines wildfire severity across the landscape, and identifies high-value connectivity corridors for focal species like the northern spotted owl and Pacific fisher in the Siskiyou Crest region.
As a companion to the peer-reviewed Assessment, Dr. DellaSala’s team has created a general audience-friendly Atlas that requires less technical and scientific background. It offers summaries of all the most important ECA findings and is a great resource in itself.
