DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This report presents a summary of the most recent inventory information for Colorado's forest lands. The report includes descriptive highlights and tables of area, number of trees, biomass, volume, growth, mortality, and removals. Most of the tables are organized by forest type, species, diameter class, or owner group. The report also describes inventory design, inventory terminology, and data reliability. Results show that Colorado's forest land totals 23 million acres. Nearly 50 percent of this forest land is administered by the USDA Forest Service. Pinyon-juniper forests cover over 5.5 million acres whereas forest comprised of fir, spruce, and hemlock comprise 24 percent of Colorado's forest land. Aspen is the single most abundant tree species in Colorado. Net annual growth of all live trees 5.0 inches diameter and greater on Colorado forest land totaled 219.6 million cubic feet. Average annual mortality totaled nearly 421.0 million cubic feet.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →In this study I assessed the potential economic impacts of planned and proposed restoration treatments on four national forests in northern Arizona to help land managers and community leaders understand the social and economic development opportunities that can be leveraged through ecological restoration projects. I estimated potential economic impacts that can result from implementing two collaboratively developed treatment scenarios as well as from treating those acres that have already undergone the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance process (i.e., NEPA-ready acres). The results from Input-Output modeling and an IMPLAN analysis indicate that treating the NEPA-ready acres can generate $273 million of outputs, $146 million of labor income, and about 3,000 jobs. Restorative mechanical thinning treatments create slightly more jobs per dollar invested than prescribed burning treatments (16.0 compared to 13.6 jobs per million dollars of federal spending). The largest treatment scenario (mechanically treating 1.7 million acres) would cost about $1 billion at the current rate, but generate more than $1.3 billion of total output, $518 million of labor income, and 14,820 jobs to local economies. These results do not include potentially significant economic advantages from using woody biomass generated by mechanical thinning treatments. In addition to ecological and energy benefits, ecological restoration treatments can create sustainable, S2green collarS3 jobs in rural communities of the Southwest and generate social and economic benefits. To be sustainable, planning for ecological restoration should include qualitative and quantitative monitoring of social and economic conditions, in addition to ecological outcomes of the treatments. This study provides baseline information for such monitoring efforts.
