Goal: Maintain and enhance Tecate Cypress Forest on Conserved Lands in the MSPA so that the vegetation community has high ecological integrity, and is resilient to environmental stochasticity, threats and catastrophic disturbances, such as altered fire regime and climate change, and will be likely to persist over the long term (>100 years).
Management units: 3
In 2018, map tree mortality in Tecate cypress forests using high resolution aerial imagery, LIDAR and other remote sensing data and incorporate existing datasets, where available, to determine the current status of riparian forest and scrub in the MSPA that are affected by drought, wildfire and invasive pests and fungal pathogens.
