摘要: We evaluated the historical and projected trends in climate vegetation relevant to Coronado National Forest southeast Arizona, USA. then applied this information an assessment of vulnerability 30 species terrestrial vertebrates on potential effects future change. used a pilot version decision-support tool developed by U.S. Department Agriculture, Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station that produces scores represent relative measures change as related habitat, physiology, phenology, biotic interactions. Over next ~100 years, increased temperature aridity are for region, well reduction forested areas. All were considered vulnerable with respect at least some criteria comprising tool. The elegant trogon (Trogon elegans) Tarahumara frog (Rana tarahumarae) tied largest score. Slevin's bunchgrass lizard (Sceloporus slevini) had smallest While varied their expected responses change, most appeared be one or more negative impacts such overall suitable habitat. results can USFS managers adaptation planning these habitats helping identify goals planning.
