Integrated Modeling to Mitigate Climate Change Risk Due to Sea Level Rise

摘要: Climate change is expected to significantly alter low-lying coastal and intertidal areas, which provide significant seasonal habitats for a variety of shoreline-dependent organisms. Many military installations in Florida have bird data strongly illustrate their importance birds. Potential land use changes population increases, coupled with uncertain predictions sea level rise, storm frequency, intensity created planning challenge natural resource managers. This paper provides framework integrate multiscale climate, cover, use, ecosystem information into systematic tool explore climate variability effects on habitat dynamics the state-threatened residential Snowy Plover, migratory Piping Plover Red Knot, selected sites Northwest Florida. A proof-of-concept study described that includes data, species distribution wetland cover model global sensitivity/uncertainty analysis methods. The results these integrated models are used management options within an world.
