_____The Impact of Future Climate on Wetland Habitat in a Critical Migratory Waterfowl Corridor of the Prairie Pothole Region
______Other (Approved for Public)
To more fully understand the complex, often interacting, influences of climate and land-use on prairie-pothole wetland systems, and to facilitate climate and land-use change adaptation efforts, a mechanistic understanding of the relationship between climate, land-use, hydrology, chemistry, and biota in prairie-pothole wetlands, is needed. We developed the Pothole Hydrology-Linked Systems Simulator (PHyLiSS) to help meet this need. PHyLiSS is a generalized coupled hydrologic and hydrogeochemical model of prairie-pothole wetland ecosystems. The current version of PHyLiSS has the capability to simulate wetland hydrology and salinity. Future iterations will be able to simulate the impacts of changing hydrology and salinity...
