Purpose

This project will apply the results of an on-going climate change vulnerability assessment to the management of two completrue landscapes. The vulnerability assessment project team will work with mangers, land-owners, and conservation practitioners to etrueplore how: Downscaled climate datasets, modeled vegetation changes, and information on estimated species sensitivities can be used to develop climate change adaptation strategies; Model results and datasets can be made more useful for informing the management of species and landscapes.
