Abstract	This capstone study reports on global warming-induced changes to the Colorado subalpine zone climate and disturbance regimes. It assesses the impacts of these changes upon the dominant subalpine tree species and summarizes future species distribution modeling for these and other nearby species potentially suitable for the future subalpine zone in Colorado. Assisted migration strategies and tools are discussed and modeled. Lastly, the study discusses potential drawbacks of action and inaction in assisted migration, as well as current testing of assisted migration in the Colorado subalpine forest.
