Book Description
Describes the possible impacts of human-induced climate change (CC) & of natural climate variations like El Nino, focusing on the water resources, salmon, forests, & coasts of the Pacific NW. Suggests possibilities for adapting to those changes. Chapters: regional climate: patterns of regional CC in the context of large-scale climate influences; & scenarios of future climate derived from climate models; impacts of climate on water resources, salmon, forests, & coasts: current status & stresses; past changes & the observed impacts of CC; potential impacts of future CC on nat. resources; socioecon. impacts of CC; & strategies for adaptation; plan. for the 21st cent. Illustrated.

Climate Change and Rocky Mountain Ecosystems

ISBN: 3319569287
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
This book is the result of a team of approximately 100 scientists and resource managers who worked together for two years to understand the effects of climatic variability and change on water resources, fisheries, forest vegetation, non-forest vegetation, wildlife, recreation, cultural resources and ecosystem services. Adaptation options, both strategic and tactical, were developed for each resource area. This information is now being applied in the northern rocky Mountains to ensure long-term sustainability in resource conditions. The volume chapters provide a technical assessment of the effects of climatic variability and change on natural and cultural resources, based on best available science, including new analyses obtained through modeling and synthesis of existing data. Each chapter also contains a summary of adaptation strategies (general) and tactics (on-the-ground actions) that have been developed by science-management teams.
