A New Framework for Spatio-temporal Climate Change Impact Assessment for Terrestrial Wildlife

摘要: We describe a first step framework for climate change species’ impact assessments that produces spatially and temporally heterogeneous models of impacts. Case study results are provided great gray owl (Strix nebulosa) in Idaho as an example application. This applies species-specific sensitivity weights to spatial seasonal exposure produce impact. also evaluated three methods calculating by comparing combined sensitivity. found the used calculated showed little difference, except where was directional (i.e., more sensitive increase temperature than decrease). approach may assist development State Wildlife Action Plans other wildlife management plans face potential future change.
