Stohlgren, T.J., J. Baron, and T. Kittel. 1993. Understanding coupled climatic, hydrological, and ecosystem responses to global climate change in the Colorado Rockies biogeographical area. Pages 184-200 in W.E. Brown and S.D. Veirs, Jr., eds. Partners in stewardship: Proceedings of the 7th Conference on Research and Resource Management in Parks and on Public Lands. George Wright Society, Hancock, MI. ... About 76% of the land adjacent to Rocky Mountain National Park is federal land. While the area has not received as much attention as the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, there may be as many internal and external threats to the natural resources in the area. The Colorado Rockies are an archetypal ecosystem under siege. Like many national parks, wilderness areas, wildlife refuges, and other natural areas, common threats include encroachment from urbanization and development, habitat fragmentation, fire suppression, nonindigenous species' invasion, and global change (e.g., climate change, bordering land-use changes, and air and water pollution). Since all these threats transcend ownership or stewardship borders, so have interagency concerns for conservation, inventory and monitoring, and research. ... [Read More]

Southern Rockies Ecosystem Project. The State of the Southern Rockies Ecoregion. ... A significant portion of the land within the SRPSA boundary is administered by the USDA Forest Service, some of which is designated as wilderness area. Ecological habitats of the Southern Rockies include sagebrush shrublands, piņon-juniper woodlands, mountain forests, and alpine tundra. This region is considered an area of biological convergence for fauna and flora, representing the high-elevation/montane environments merging with those of the adjacent, lower-altitude prairie and desert biogeographic zones. As a headwaters region, the SRPSA also contains many species-rich aquatic and riparian ecosystems. Logging, mining, and grazing and other agricultural industries operate in the study area. And, although there are no large metropolitan areas located within the study area boundaries, many internationally renowned ski resorts, such as Aspen, Telluride, Ouray, and Vail reside within it. ...
