AbstractComplex Ecological and Social Communities: A Perfect Storm for CollaborationTrack: Ecology and Conservation Author The Applegate Values Mapping Exercise was a process where a collaborative group was lead through a facilitate process to identify what values on the landscape they are most concerned about losing to an un-characteristic disturbance event (wildland fire, disease, etc). These values were then mapped across the whole watershed and summed so that areas where many of the values intersected became "hot-spots" and active management in those areas will address many of the values of concern. The results were averaged by Sub-Watershed (HUC 6) and scaled by Federal ownership to help our Federal partners prioritize planning efforts in those areas accordingly.
