Grant Description

To address the transition to climate change adaptation, the BLM is undertaking a program of applied research to answer key information gaps about habitat formation and reconfiguration for species under climate change conditions; securing an analogous degree of biological diversity in future landscapes; characterization of altered disturbance patterns; and promoting natural genetic diversity that matches changing environmental conditions. This project emphasizes applications of newly developed technologies and management practices that hold promise for keeping BLM lands functionally intact and biologically rich. Specific projects might include changes in the spatial distributions and frequency of adaptive genes in distinct species subpopulations across landscapes; practices to enhance soil micro organismal diversity for enhanced carbon sequestration and plant productivity; and investigation and implementation of management to conserve currently threatened, endangered, or other sensitive species into an uncertain future.
