Virginia’s Climate Modeling and Species Vulnerability Assessment
This report summarizes the modeling effort and focuses on the species projections and analyzing the results of the effort and what that may mean for conservation and management in the state. The report is attached and will be available shortly on line at http://www.nwf.org/What-We-Do/Energy-and-Climate/Climate-Smart-Conservation/Adaptation-Reports.aspx.
A companion report can be found at Conservation Management Institute’s website (http://cmi.vt.edu/Articles/art_ClimateChange.html) that focuses on the technical aspects of the effort.
Thank you to those of you that participated in our June 2012 workshops co-hosted by NWF, Virginia Conservation Network, and DGIF. Your input was extremely helpful in shaping the information in this report and in determining next steps, including development of a Climate Atlas that will house approximately 600 PDFs and shape files of a range of climate variables.
