Climate Adaptation Tools for Wetland Conservation and Management

Wetlands are natural ecosystems that are inherently vulnerable to climate change impacts. The vulnerability of a wetland to regional climate changes is influenced by local characteristics such as soils, topography, location in the watershed, current and past land uses. A changing climate can intensify existing stressors to wetland ecosystems and bring about changes that can affect water quality, and habitats. Adaptation is critical to sustaining wetland ecosystems.
