Description
The importance of atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition relative to the natural processes and natural character of Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) has become better understood over time, as scientific research and monitoring that began in the early 1980's have documented various changes to ecosystems in the park. These changes include forest and soil biogeochemical changes, enhanced microbial activity in soils, increased N in lakes and streams,...

Description
There is an overarching concern about the long term trade offs between air quality protection and efforts to mitigate unwanted wildfire. The emissions from wildfire may exceed air quality standards to such a degree that it may be prudent to allow greater levels of burning now to prevent unmitigated wildfires in the future. Prescribed fire implementation needs to regard to issues, such as health risk, public safety, and ecosystem damage if prescribed...

Description
Much of Colorado is considered a high hazard fire environment and possesses all the ingredients necessary to support large, intense, and uncontrollable wildfires. Our ability to live more safely in this fire environment greatly depends upon our use of "pre-fire activities." These are steps taken before a wildfire occurs which improve the survivability of people and homes.
