Northern Rockies Adaptation Partnership

Preparing for climate change through science-management collaboration

 Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Planning

• Sensitivity: environmental tolerance or thresholds; dependence/interactions on other species/processes; specialized habitats, disturbance, other stressors
• Exposure: primary factors (e.g. temperature, precipitation) and secondary factors (e.g. hydrology, sea level rise, vegetation changes) and non-climate stressors (e.g. development, invasive species)
• Adaptive Capacity: plasticity, dispersal abilities, evolutionary potential, landscape permeability

 

• NRAP is a science-management collaboration with the goals of:
  1. Assessing vulnerability of natural resources and ecosystem services to climate change; and
  2. Developing science-based adaptation strategies that can be used by national forests to understand and mitigate the negative effects of climate change

  NRAP is an Adaptation Partners Project
