Habitat and demographic details and projected results from dynamic-landscape metapopulation models used to projected effects of climate change and forest restoration scenarios on the habitat availability and population growth of focal wildlife species in the Ozark Highlands. Habitat availability is described by the carrying capacity (K) of each species. Projections for base scenarios with no conservation are discussed prior to results for restoration scenarios to better understand their impact. Population responses to restoration scenarios are presented both for individual climate models and pooled across climate models.
This project integrates dynamic landscape population viability models and structured decision making to choose among conservation scenarios that best meet desired endpoints for focal wildlife species in the Ozark Highlands region under climate change.
The Gulf Coastal Plains and Ozarks Landscape Conservation Cooperative (GCPO) is a regional collaboration across agency and ownership boundaries to conserve sustainable landscapes in the face of global change. Planning for sustainable landscapes is hampered by uncertainty in how species will respond to conservation actions amidst impacts from landscape and climate change, especially when those impacts are also uncertain. Conservation is also complicated by the complexities of the planning decisions, including tradeoffs among competing species objectives. To help guide landscape conservation design, we piloted a process that integrated dynamiclandscape metapopulation models (DLMPs) and Structured Decision Making to...
