This document identifies conservation strategies for Pagosa skyrocket, based on an assessment of the plants' viability and threats by participants of a June 2008 workshop.
Located in San Miguel County, the Big Gypsum Valley and Dry Creek Basin Action Areas include high quality occurrences of Gypsum Valley cat's-eye (Cryptantha gypsophila). Several other significant elements of biodiversity add conservation value to this area including the Gunnison Sage Grouse, Sage Sparrow, White-tailed Prairie dog, Little penstemon, Nealley's dropseed and a unique community of globally and state-rare lichens.
This report summarizes the results of a rapid landscape-scale climate vulnerability assessment for the Gunnison Basin. The primary objective of this assessment was to determine what ecosystems/habitats and species are most at risk to climate change (and why) under climate change scenarios predicted for 2050. This report summarizes the results of a landscape-scale climate change vulnerability assessment of 24 ecosystems (17 terrestrial and seven freshwater ecosystems) and 73 species of concern (50 plants and 23 animals) in the Upper Gunnison Basin, Colorado.
This document identifies conservation strategies for round-leaf four-o'clock, golden blazing star, and Pueblo goldenweed, based on an assessment of the plants' viability and threats by participants of a June 2008 workshop.
