This insert into the February 2013 Estuary news offers snapshots of how seven CA LCC projects have been laying the foundations for lasting cooperative conservation partnerships.
The CA LCC and CA Department of Water Resources partnered to host a TEK training for natural resource managers and scientists. The aim was to foster ability to partner with tribes and understand traditional knowledge of the environment.
Standards for project metadata and support documentation for the 22 LCCs to create the metadata were developed by the CA LCC Data Managers under contract by the LCC National Office as part of the effort to create the Simple National Project Catalog database. The resulting database provided a single national source for information to date on all projects funded by the 22 individual LCCs and the national office, and a tool for reviewing these projects, for purposes of national-level management and presenting summaries of this information to Congress. Project descriptions were collected in standardized metadata records using controlled vocabularies, and presented in an online database with searching capabilities. The...
This two and a half day workshop offered five sessions organized around a change adaptation framework. Each session was designed to be a shared learning process that would both test the framework as a tool and help the participants learn how they might use it in their workplaces. Sessions had a combination of speakers and group exercises. The workshop brought together nearly 170 individuals from more than 60 organizations to identify shared conservation goals and to explore regional scale strategies to conserve Southern Sierra Nevada natural resources in the face of rapid change and an uncertain future.Public land managers and partners in the Southern Sierra Nevada Region are keenly aware that valued resources are...
Project GoalThe Goal of the Central Valley Landscape Conservation Project is to identify climate-smart conservation actions in partnership with scientists and natural resource managers that will maximize the adaptive capacity of priority species, habitats, and ecosystems to support an ecologically connected Central Valley landscape.Project ObjectivesConserve resilient and adaptable ecosystems that sustain future Central Valley biodiversity.Promote landscape-scale connectivity and ecological and physical processes that function within current and future ranges of variability to support a diverse and thriving Central Valley.Reduce the impacts of climate change and other co-occurring stressors to Central Valley ecosystems....

Guidance for incorporating climate change into conservation and restoration strategies was provided in two Climate-Smart Actions for Natural Resource Managers workshops hosted by the Bay Area Ecosystem Climate Change Consortium (BAECCC, baeccc.org) and sponsored by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the California Landscape Conservation Cooperative, California Coastal Conservancy, and The Nature Conservancy on November 29, 2012 and September 24, 2013. Materials from both of these workshops are presented in this webpage, presented on the CA LCC’s Climate Commons.
This section of the Climate Commons is dedicated to web pages and data management plans for the CA LCC-funded projects. The purpose is to deliver the scientific products resulting from the CA LCC-funded applied research projects for use by the intended audience, California’s natural resource managers. The project pages provide access to the many types of products, including online tools, publications, and datasetsData management plans are required of every project at the begininng of the project, and CA LCC’s Data Managers work with the Principle Investigators to fill out the data management plans and eventually catalog and present their results in the Climate Commons through these web pages. Often the PI works...
A collection of information resources assembled to support the CVLCP partnership efforts, including scenario planning, assessing vulnerabilities, and developing adaptation strategies.
Assessing vulnerabilities is a critical step in climate–smart conservation planning. The Central Valley Landscape Conservation Project (CVLCP) participants evaluated the vulnerability of a group of selected priority natural resources by discussing and answering a series of questions for sensitivity, exposure, and adaptive capacity at a workshop held in October of 2015. The vulnerability scores presented in this summary were calculated based on the expertise of the CVLCP participants and are accompanied by a comprehensive literature review (for more details visit http://climate.calcommons.org/cvlcp). These assessments were conducted as a step toward the Central Valley Landscape Conservation Project’s goal of a coordinated,...
These Central Valley habitats, species groups, and species reflect a collective set of priorities and will be the focus of vulnerability assessments and adaptation strategies and actions
The myriad challenges facing biodiversity under climate change are reflected in the challenges facing managers planning for these impacts. An ever-expanding number of recommendations and tools for climate change adaptation exist to aid managers in these efforts, yet navigating these various resources can lead to information overload and paralysis in decision-making. Here we provide a synthesis of the key considerations, approaches, and available tools for integrating climate change adaptation into management plans. We discuss principal elements in climate change adaptation—incorporating uncer- tainty through scenario planning and adaptive management—and review three leading frameworks for incorporating climate change...

The California Landscape Conservation Cooperative has offered numerous webinars and workshops over the years to deliver science and support to resource managers in California. This metadata collection describes some of the highlights.
Goal: Identify actions that will maximize the adaptive capacity of priority species, habitat, and ecosystems to support an ecologically connected Central Valley landscape. The CA LCC will bring partners together to cooperatively agree on strategic climate-smart adaptation goals, objectives, strategies, and actions for the Central Valley landscape. The project area is the Central Valley due to its high vulnerability to numerous stressors including continuing land use changes, increasing temperatures, drought, and loss of important habitats. The target audience is natural resource managers and decision makers in the Central Valley. The approach includes assessing current and potential future conditions of priority...
On March 3, 2015, The California Landscape Conservation Cooperative conducted a scenario planning workshop as a part of the Central Valley Landscape Conservation Project (CVLCP). The goal of this scenario planning exercise was to develop a common understanding of a range of future conditions in the Central Valley as a basis for identifying priority natural resources and adaptation strategies and actions.Workshop participants worked in small groups to develop two major axes of landscapeMscale change in the Central Valley that would then be used to develop four plausible future scenarios for the Central Valley. All groups agreed on a water-related axis, and there were two distinct versions of a human-driven axis....
This guidance document and webinar provide information about the CA LCC method for creating and updating a Data Management Plan for CA LCC-funded projects. A Data Management Plan is a document that describes the data produced by a project and the way those resources will be stored, documented, and if and how they will be shared for use by others. Data Management Plans are required of all CA LCC-funded projects. CA LCC’s Data Managers assist Principle Investigators in starting and updating their Data Management Plans throughout the lifespan of their project, culminating in the delivery of the products and making them accessible on the Climate Commons when appropriate.
This webpage, document, and bibliography provides a summary of projected future changes in the California Central Valley according to current models and assessments. Information is provided for Temperature, Extreme Heat, Precipitation, Drought and Aridity, Sierra Nevada Snowpack, Snowmelt, Runoff, Stream Flow and Temperatures, Storms and Flooding, Groundwater, Agriculture and Urban Land and Water Use, Phenology, Fire, Vegetation change.
The CA LCC’s Data managers worked with the LCC National Office and the 22 LCCs of the Network to create a single national source for information to date on all projects funded by all 22 individual LCCs and the national office, and a tool for reviewing these projects, for purposes of national-level management and presenting summaries of this information to Congress. Project descriptions were collected in standardized metadata records using controlled vocabularies, and presented in an online database with searching capabilities. The original data call was in 2013 and the database was updated in 2014. This work was a precurser to the development by the DMWG of a more automated metadata publishing system using the Arctic...
The CA LCC assisted the San Francisco Bay Area National Wildlife Refuge Complex in its conservation planning efforts by researching and summarizing projections of climate change and potential impacts for the natural resources of the seven refuges within the Refuge Complex. The following documents are available, presented on a webpage on the Climate Commons (http://climate.calcommons.org/sfbnwr). A bibliographic database was also delivered to the refuge managers for their use in their planning documents. The information was presented to the refuge staff at one of their planning workshops in early 2017.San Francisco Bay NWR Complex Climate Assessment Documents:Climate Assessment Materials: SF Bay Complex Targets and...
The CA LCC assisted the San Francisco Bay Area National Wildlife Refuge Complex in its conservation planning efforts by researching and summarizing projections of climate change and potential impacts for the natural resources of the seven refuges within the Refuge Complex. We used the Climate Commons and the tools linked to it to search the literature and create graphs and maps depicting range and types of climate and physical changes expected for the region, and searched the scientific literature and consulted with experts for the summaries of potential impacts to the target habitats and species.
