Forests are critically important for the provision of ecosystem services. The Sacramento Mountains of New Mexico, USA, are a hotspot for conservation management and the Mescalero Apache Tribe's homeland. The multiple ecosystem services and functions and its high vulnerability to changes in climate conditions make their forests of ecological, cultural, and social importance. We used data from the Mescalero Apache Tribal Lands (MATL) Continuous Forest Inventory over 30 yr to analyze changes in the structure and composition of ecosystems as well as trends in ecosystem services. Many provisioning, regulating, cultural, and supporting services were shared among the MATL ecosystems and were tied to foundational species dominance, which could serve as a reliable indicator of ecosystem functioning. Our analysis indicates that the MATL are in an ongoing transition from conifer forests to woodlands with declines in two foundation species, quaking aspen and ponderosa pine, linked to past forest management and changing climate. In addition, we detected a decrease in species richness and tree size variability, amplifying the risk of forest loss in a rapid climatic change. Continuous permanent plots located on a dense grid (1 × 1 km) such as the ones monitored by the Bureau of Indian Affairs are the most detailed data available to estimate forests multiresource transitions over time. Native lands across the USA could serve as the leading edge of detecting decadal-scale forest changes and tracking climate impacts.

Mescalero Apache Tribal Lands 的森林和生态系统服务变化趋势

森林对于提供生态系统服务至关重要。美国新墨西哥州的萨克拉门托山脉是保护管理的热点,也是 Mescalero Apache 部落的家园。多种生态系统服务和功能及其对气候条件变化的高度脆弱性使其森林具有生态、文化和社会重要性。我们使用来自 Mescalero Apache Tribal Lands (MATL) 连续森林调查 30 多年的数据来分析生态系统结构和组成的变化以及生态系统服务的趋势。许多供应、调节、文化和支持服务在 MATL 生态系统之间共享,并与基础物种优势相关联,这可以作为生态系统功能的可靠指标。我们的分析表明,MATL 正处于从针叶林向林地的持续过渡中,两种基础物种的减少,即地震白杨和黄松,与过去的森林管理和气候变化有关。此外,我们检测到物种丰富度和树木大小变异性下降,在快速的气候变化中扩大了森林丧失的风险。位于密集网格(1 × 1 公里)上的连续永久样地,例如由印度事务局监测的样地,是可用于估计森林多资源随时间变化的最详细数据。美国各地的本土土地可以作为检测十年级森林变化和跟踪气候影响的前沿。与过去的森林管理和气候变化有关。此外,我们检测到物种丰富度和树木大小变异性下降,在快速的气候变化中扩大了森林丧失的风险。位于密集网格(1 × 1 公里)上的连续永久样地,例如由印度事务局监测的样地,是可用于估计森林多资源随时间变化的最详细数据。美国各地的本土土地可以作为检测十年级森林变化和跟踪气候影响的前沿。与过去的森林管理和气候变化有关。此外,我们检测到物种丰富度和树木大小变异性下降,在快速的气候变化中扩大了森林丧失的风险。位于密集网格(1 × 1 公里)上的连续永久样地,例如由印度事务局监测的样地,是可用于估计森林多资源随时间变化的最详细数据。美国各地的本土土地可以作为检测十年级森林变化和跟踪气候影响的前沿。位于密集网格(1 × 1 公里)上的连续永久样地,例如由印度事务局监测的样地,是可用于估计森林多资源随时间变化的最详细数据。美国各地的本土土地可以作为检测十年级森林变化和跟踪气候影响的前沿。位于密集网格(1 × 1 公里)上的连续永久样地,例如由印度事务局监测的样地,是可用于估计森林多资源随时间变化的最详细数据。美国各地的本土土地可以作为检测十年级森林变化和跟踪气候影响的前沿。
