Species and Habitat Vulnerability Assessments of Appalachian Species and Habitats
-
Climate Change Vulnerability Team
-
Future climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies will be dependent on the best available projections of how the regional climate will change and on estimates of the impacts those changes will have on the region’s natural and cultural resources. Thus understanding the vulnerability of various species and habitats within the Appalachian LCC to climate change is of critical importance. This project will compile climate change vulnerability assessments and other relevant information on vulnerable species and habitats, discern the various methodologies and criteria used in these assessments, and use a team of exert peer reviewers to recommend the most efficient, effective, and appropriate methods for adoption by the Appalachian LCC for conservation and adaptation planning. The recommended method will then be deployed, resulting in vulnerability assessments for a suite of key species/habitats selected in consultation with partners of the Appalachian LCC.

Climate Change Workspace
-
This Work Space is reserved for the scientific community currently working on the Appalachian LCC regional Climate Vulnerability Project (see PROJECT tab above for more information). All folders and content within this Work Space are private and can only be seen by registered members of the group. Open membership will be reestablished in late-Spring. Please visit this area of the Portal again at that time and request Membership through the "Join a Group" button on the top right.

Climate Webinar: Exploring Snowfall in the United States
-
The number of snowfall events in a given area has a large impact on road maintenance and water resources management. Snowfall data collected in the United States between 1930 and 2007 at seven locations shows how snowfall frequency has changed over time, and relates the information to a changing global climate.

Climate-informed management of oak ecosystems in the Central Hardwoods region
-
Global climate changes will lead to local impacts on oak ecosystems throughout the central hardwoods region, including shifts in habitat suitability for different species, changes in soil moisture regime, and effects on insect pests, diseases, and species invasion.
