Existing stream temperature data will be compiled from numerous federal, state, tribal, and private sources to develop an integrated regional database. Spatial statistical models for river networks will be applied to these data to develop an accurate model that predicts stream temperature for all fish-bearing streams in the US portion of the NPLCC. Differences between model outputs for historic and future climate scenarios will be used to assess spatial variation in the vulnerability of sensitive fish species across the NPLCC.

For hundreds of years, Pacific lamprey and Pacific eulachon have been important traditional foods for Native American tribes of the Columbia River Basin and coastal areas of Oregon and Washington. These fish have large ranges – spending part of their lives in the ocean and part in freshwater streams – and they require specific environmental conditions to survive, migrate, and reproduce. For these reasons, Pacific lamprey and Pacific eulachon are likely threatened by a variety of climate change impacts to both their ocean and freshwater habitats. However, to date, little research has explored these impacts, despite the importance of these species to tribal communities.This project will evaluate the effects of future...

For Tribes where significant knowledge of traditional management practices is intact, but where all or part of ancestral lands are managed by other agencies, it is important that the sharing of TEK and implementation of management take place in a manner that promotes rather than hinders Tribal sovereignty and self-determination. This project will identify existing institutional and cultural barriers to the sharing of Tribal TEK and expansion of Tribal management and provide recommendations for their resolution at local, regional and national levels.

Two layer packages are included here. One with the final habitat surface and final habitat concentration areas used in the naturalness connectivity models. The other layer package contains an alternate habitat surface and alternate habitat concentration areas that were created in the process of finalizing the model inputs.Habitat Layer Creation:The habitat layer is needed to create the Habitat Concentration Areas (HCAs) and for use in the linkage mapper model. We wanted the perfect habitat on a landscape to be 1, and the worst to be 0. The habitat layer was created from a “Specialized Resistance Surface” created for this purpose. The “Specialized Resistance Surface” was created with the above methodology, but had...

The Georgia Basin supports a globally unique mix of dry forest and savannah habitats that evolved under historic climates and First Nations land management. These extraordinary areas still provide ecosystem services essential to human health and well-being and are widely recognized for their outstanding beauty, recreational and economic values. However, most of this habitat has been converted to human use and what remains will be lost without further investment in conservation and restoration activities. We use leading-edge methods to prioritize stewardship actions, identify conservation networks likely to facilitate species persistence under climate change, and maximize return on conservation investments.

Climate impacts potentially affect all levels of park planning and management. Climate adaptation planning seeks to identify and proactively prepare for potential climate change impacts on management sectors. Taking a proactive approach can help reduce future risks, capitalize on new opportunities, and minimize losses due to climate change. Most importantly, integrating climate impacts into park planning and management will help park managers continue to meet their mission of protecting natural and cultural resources, providing recreation opportunities, and protecting the health and safety of park visitors.

Project Accomplishments: 1) A soil vulnerability index was created for the NP LCC. It is being incorporated into a visualization tool with the CA LCC in a Multi-LCC project. 2) Statistical analyses were performed on correlations between forest mortality (>50 of a stand) and soil characteristics in the NP LCC between 1997 and 2010. In California and Oregon, soil characteristics, especially available soil water storage capacity and pH were predictors in areas of tree mortality. In Washington, soil did not improve predictability of forest mortality. (unpublished) 3) New MC2 simulations were run with the AR5 data. These are available on databasin.org. 4) The new MC2 AR5 simulations were used in a sensitivity analysis...
This project will address the need to better understand the impact that climate change will have on our salmon subsistence resources in southeast Alaska. Working with federal and state agencies, as well as community-based organizations and tribal governments, this project will 1) build a network that supports local organizations in their efforts to collect stream temperature data, and 2) coordinate those efforts so that the data will inform and empower management agencies, researchers, and communities to adapt to changing conditions for fish in the freshwater stages of their lifecycles.

These layers were produced as part of the WGA/LCC Riparian Mapping Project, which identified riparian location, condition, and climate adaptation potential, for the Pacific Northwest, USA. These layers identify potential riparian areas (i.e., near-stream valley bottoms; Theobald et al. 2013) that span large temperature gradients, have high canopy cover, low solar insolation, and low levels of human modification – characteristics expected to facilitate climate-induced species range shifts and provide micro-climatic refugia from warming. Detailed description of the project rationale, methods, and resulting layers may be found in Krosby et al. (2014). References: Krosby, M., Norheim, R., Theobald, D. M., and B. H....
The Use of Fire as a Tool to Enhance Traditional Foods among the Tribal Nations of the Klamath Basin
The six federally recognized tribes of the Klamath Basin have depended on traditional foods for survival since time immemorial. Frequent, low-severity fires were implemented historically by tribal peoples to help enhance traditional foods and manage forest growth. For the Karuk Tribe, living in the Mid-Klamath region, over 75% of traditional foods were enriched by fire (Norgaard 2014). Due to the enactment of fire suppression as a national policy for almost a century, many tribal members today do not have access to traditional foods, negatively impacting biological and psychological health. The procurement of traditional foods requires detailed knowledge of the environment, and since the tribal peoples of the Klamath...
Final project report for the NPLCC includes accomplishments, outreach and communication, and lessons learned.
Types: Report
This project developed a soil vulnerability index and map indicating where forest cover will be most affected by climate change. Using this map, researchers developed a greater understanding of potential changes in soil moisture and temperature regimes under future climate conditions. They then evaluated how this information could be used to improve vegetation models across the landscape. They compared the results of different modeling approaches to the soil vulnerability map, synthesized the state of knowledge and uncertainty, and introduced management implications for action.The following data sets are included:Soil accumulations for the North Pacific Landscape Conservation Cooperative- northern California, USASoil...
