A review of coastal management approaches to support the integration of ecological and human community planning for climate change A review of coastal management approaches to support the integration of ecological and human community planning for climate change
The resilience of socio-ecological systems to sea level rise, storms and flooding can be enhanced when coastal habitats are used as natural infrastructure. Grey infrastructure has long been used for coastal flood protection but can lead to unintended negative impacts. Natural infrastructure often provides similar services as well as added benefits that support short- and long-term...

Ecological and management implications of climate change induced shifts in phenology of coastal fish and wildlife species in the Northeast CASC region Ecological and management implications of climate change induced shifts in phenology of coastal fish and wildlife species in the Northeast CASC region
Climate change is causing species to shift their phenology, or the timing of recurring life events such as migration and reproduction, in variable and complex ways. This can potentially result in mismatches or asynchronies in food and habitat resources that negatively impact individual fitness, population dynamics, and ecosystem function. Numerous studies have evaluated phenological...

Ecosystems, Ecosystem Services, and Biodiversity Ecosystems, Ecosystem Services, and Biodiversity
Biodiversity—the variety of life on Earth—provides vital services that support and improve human health and well-being. Ecosystems, which are composed of living things that interact with the physical environment, provide numerous essential benefits to people. These benefits, termed ecosystem services, encompass four primary functions: provisioning materials, such as food and fiber...

Final Report fr critical thresholds and ecosystem services for coastal ecological and human climate adaptation Final Report fr critical thresholds and ecosystem services for coastal ecological and human climate adaptation
Understanding how climate change will impact natural and human communities is a crucial part of decision making and management related to the protection of our coasts. As the effects of climate change on ecological communities grow, the possibility of crossing tipping points or thresholds of viability increases the potential for rapid and possibly irreversible changes in ecosystems...

A synthesis of thresholds for focal species along the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf Coasts: A review of research and applications A synthesis of thresholds for focal species along the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf Coasts: A review of research and applications
The impacts from climate change are increasing the possibility of vulnerable coastal species and habitats crossing critical thresholds that could spur rapid and possibly irreversible changes. For species of high conservation concern, improved knowledge of quantitative thresholds could greatly improve management. To meet this need, we synthesized information pertaining to biological...

Tambora and the mackerel year: Phenology and fisheries during an extreme climate event Tambora and the mackerel year: Phenology and fisheries during an extreme climate event
Global warming has increased the frequency of extreme climate events, yet responses of biological and human communities are poorly understood, particularly for aquatic ecosystems and fisheries. Retrospective analysis of known outcomes may provide insights into the nature of adaptations and trajectory of subsequent conditions. We consider the 1815 eruption of the Indonesian volcano...

Climate change impacts on ecosystems and ecosystem services in the United States: Process and prospects for sustained assessment Climate change impacts on ecosystems and ecosystem services in the United States: Process and prospects for sustained assessment
The third United States National Climate Assessment emphasized an evaluation of not just the impacts of climate change on species and ecosystems, but also the impacts of climate change on the benefits that people derive from nature, known as ecosystem services. The ecosystems, biodiversity, and ecosystem services component of the assessment largely drew upon the findings of a...

Northeast and Midwest regional species and habitats at greatest risk and most vulnerable to climate impacts Northeast and Midwest regional species and habitats at greatest risk and most vulnerable to climate impacts
The objectives of this Chapter are to describe climate change vulnerability, it’s components, the range of assessment methods being implemented regionally, and examples of training resources and tools. Climate Change Vulnerability Assessments (CCVAs) have already been conducted for numerous Regional Species of Greatest Conservation Need and their dependent 5 habitats across the Northeast...

Summarizing components of U.S. Department of the Interior vulnerability assessments to focus climate adaptation planning Summarizing components of U.S. Department of the Interior vulnerability assessments to focus climate adaptation planning
A secretarial order identified climate adaptation as a critical performance objective for future management of U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) lands and resources in response to global change. Vulnerability assessments can inform climate adaptation planning by providing insight into what natural resources are most at risk and why. Three components of vulnerability—exposure...

Improving conservation outcomes with a new paradigm for understanding species’ fundamental and realized adaptive capacity Improving conservation outcomes with a new paradigm for understanding species’ fundamental and realized adaptive capacity
Worldwide, many species are responding to ongoing climate change with shifts in distribution, abundance, phenology, or behavior. Consequently, natural-resource managers face increasingly urgent conservation questions related to biodiversity loss, expansion of invasive species, and deteriorating ecosystem services. We argue that our ability to address these questions is hampered by the...

Scale-appropriate adaptation strategies and actions in the Northeast and Midwest United States Scale-appropriate adaptation strategies and actions in the Northeast and Midwest United States
Climate Change Adaptation is a growing field within conservation and natural resource management. Actions taken toward climate change adaptation account for climate impacts and ecological responses, both current and projected into the future. These actions attempt to accomplish a number of goals, including the conservation of wildlife and ecosystems by reducing vulnerability and...
