Upcoming Grasslands & Climate Trainings for Conservation Practitioners
A new training series for grasslands conservation practitioners introduces the science of climate change, explores climate impacts on grasslands and discusses adaptation options available.
The Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center is teaming up with the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the North Central CASC and South Central CASC to put on this series, which started in May and will continue into the fall.
Persist in Place or Shift in Space? How NW CASC Researchers are Making it Easier to Assess Species’ Adaptive Capacity in a Changing Climate
What is adaptive capacity?
Climate change is rapidly altering landscapes and habitats, disrupting biological processes and stressing species. As the climate changes, some species are better equipped to cope than others.

What do Climate Change and Invasive Species Mean for Native Trout in Montana?
Freshwater species in the Northwest are coping with a lot these days. Not only is climate change altering streamflows and increasing water temperatures, but another challenge is at play – native species are competing with invasive species who may be benefitting from some of the changes that a warming climate brings.
