This document discusses adaptation strategies for fisheries management in northeastern Minnesota in response to climate change impacts. It finds that winter is warming faster than summer in the region. Key data gaps are identified around temperature and dissolved oxygen profiles of trout lakes, fish barrier inventories, angling data, and long-term stream monitoring. Strategies developed include emphasizing sustainable forest management, natural channel design for restoration, riparian protection, invasive species monitoring, partnership development, and strategic fish barrier removal. Continuous monitoring is needed to detect changes in stream populations over time to inform adaptive management.

Caught Between a Rock and a Hard Place: Monitoring Chinook Salmon in Californ...FISHBIO
Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) undertake some of the most well-known and well-studied migrations in the animal kingdom. Following extensive migrations through riverine and marine environments, salmon in California’s Central Valley return to highly altered and spatially constrained freshwater spawning habitats. Millions of dollars are spent annually to monitor these migrations and mitigate the effects of habitat loss and hydropower operation on freshwater spawning and rearing habitat. Yet, populations remain imperiled due to increasing water temperatures, water diversions, channel alterations, high predation rates, and replacement of wild stocks with straying hatchery stocks. The Stanislaus River has one of the most comprehensive and longest running life-cycle monitoring programs in the Central Valley. Monitoring activities are designed to track the abundance, distribution, migration characteristics, and habitat use of Chinook salmon, using a variety of different sampling methods and technologies. Rotary screw trap monitoring is used to characterize juvenile downstream migration, while a fish counting weir is used to monitor upstream migration of adults. Snorkel and seining surveys document abundance and habitat use, redd and carcass surveys document spawning, collect biological samples and coded-wire-tags. These data will inform flow management and habitat enhancement to provide suitable conditions for multiple life stages of Chinook salmon.

Within the next 50–100 years, the warming climate will have major effects on boreal and northern hardwood forests situated near the prairie–forest border of central North America.
This biome boundary shifted to the northeast
during past episodes of global warming, and is expected to do so again. The climate of the future will likely lead to higher mortality among mature trees, due to the greater frequency of droughts, fires, forest-leveling windstorms, and outbreaks of native and exotic insect pests and diseases. In addition, increasing populations of native deer and European earthworm invasions will inhibit the establishment of tree seedlings. The expected net impact of these factors will be a “savannification” of the forest, due to loss of adult trees at a rate faster than that at which
they can be replaced. This will cause a greater magnitude and more rapid northeastward shift of the prairie–forest
border, as compared with a shift solely attributable to the direct effects of temperature change.

Objectives:
There was a dramatic geographic shift in agriculture in the 20th century which concentrated grain production in a small area in the upper Midwest and concentrated vegetable, potato, cotton and other crops in the arid West. This new geography may be extremely vulnerable to climate change and variability. The Midwest droughts 2012 and the current California drought are illustrative of the problems our USDA-EaSM proposal foresaw in 2010.
It is the objective of this project to determine whether a more distributed geographical production system with the SE increasing irrigated production is both economically and environmentally sustainable.

Climate change is altering forest ecosystems, with many changes expected by the end of the 21st century. Forests vary widely, and not all forests are equally at risk; vulnerabilities are strongly influenced by regional differences in climate impacts and adaptive capacity. Further, as an increasing amount of scientific information on forest vulnerability to climate change becomes available, natural resource managers are searching for ways to realistically use this information to meet specific management needs, ranging from landscape-level planning and coordination to on-the-ground implementation.
Forest Ecology and Management Webinar Series - August 13, 2019
Workshop at UConn in June 2018.
Foresters and natural resource professionals face a tremendous challenge: how can we develop and implement management actions that help ecosystems respond to climate change? New England Forestry Foundation (NEFF) and partners are dedicated to the sustainability of our region’s forested landscape and are providing this workshop to help foresters learn more about climate-informed silviculture.
This session:
Reviewed current and anticipated effects of climate change on Connecticut’s forests;
Described resources and tools that can be used to integrate climate change into forest management practices;
Offered communication strategies to help landowners and clients understand the importance of this type of management;
Showed real-world examples of adaptation actions.
Chris Swanston gave this invited presentation at the 2017 Environmental Justice in the Anthropocene Symposium.
The Forest Service recognizes that climate change poses a multi-generational challenge that spans borders, transcends unilateral solutions, and demands shared learning and resources (USDA Forest Service 2011). The Climate Change Response Framework (CCRF, www.forestadaptation.org) grew from this recognition, and was formally launched in 2009 to address the major challenges that land managers face when considering how to integrate climate change into their planning and management. Practitioners whose livelihoods and communities depend on healthy forests face daunting challenges when responding to rapid forest decline or preparing for future change, particularly tribal natural resources professionals and tribal communities (Vogesser et al. 2013). Emphasizing climate services support for these rural communities can help them build adaptive capacity in their cultural and economic systems, often considered fundamental to environmental justice. Supporting climate-informed decision-making by these practitioners and communities requires climate service organizations to show up, listen, and then creatively work with practitioners to meet their own goals on the lands they manage. The emphasis of the CCRF on stewardship goals, as opposed to climate change and its effects, represents a subtle but important shift in focus to people and their values.
Overview of Climate Change Adaptation Concepts presented at the 2018 Michigan Wetlands Association "Adapting Wetlands to Climate Change" workshop, hosted by NIACS.
Land Trust Alliance Rally, November 2017.
Land trust activities are constantly changing to accommodate new challenges and issues, and it’s becoming increasingly important to develop and implement conservation activities that consider the challenges of a changing and uncertain climate. This fast-paced, dynamic workshop will lead participants through a five-step process to consider how climate change will affect their lands and conservation goals. This “climate change filter” will then be used to identify actions that enable forest ecosystems to adapt to changing conditions. The session will also identify strategies to engage woodland owner networks in these important stewardship activities, including climate change communication to key audiences and stakeholders.

Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.

19. Based on our assessment we
determined that we needed to develop
an area action plan for trout.
20. WHY THE INITIAL FOCUS
ON TROUT?
• High Sensitivity/Low Adaptive
Capacity
• Coldwater Trout Streams and Lakes
highly influenced by Climate in NE
• Modeled Projections
21. • Scenario planning was used to consider
plausible futures and identify resilient and
strategic decisions.
• Identified Several Critical Data Gaps
– Temperature/D.O. profiles for trout lakes
– Connectivity data (Fish barriers, Culvert
inventory)
– Creel surveys (Angling information)
– Long term continuous stream data
(Geomorphology, Biology, Water Quality, Hydrology)
29. In Finland the duration and extent of summer stratification
was unknown on most trout lakes
2013 Area began studying oxythermal habitat on trout lakes

37. In 2015 Lake County SWCD along with other partner (DNR,
USFS, Lake County DOT) began a complete inventory on all
culverts within Lake County to assess for fish passage
Data Gap – Culvert Inventory
39. • Fishing pressure and angler satisfaction
unknown
– Limitations of traditional creel, $$$
– Evaluation of trout management limited to
lake surveys
– Are angler use and satisfaction goals being
met? Is angler use changing with Climate
Change?
• Initial Success monitoring angling
activity using trail cameras
Data Gap – Creel information on trout lakes
40. Camera Deployment
Time lapse
• Identify line-of-sight
• Installed with panning mounts
• Hourly instantaneous counts
during daylight
Access Trail
• Inconspicuous, but clear view
• perpendicular to trail
• FAP trigger speed
• Daylight motion detection only
43. Data Gaps – Continuous Steam Data
Concerns that would not be able to understand changes within landscape.
Previously, stream surveys were set on 3, 5, and 10 year cycles.
45. Data Gaps – Continuous Steam Data
Ten Streams Chosen for Continuous Monitoring Program
3 streams that modeled predictions have indicated to be
highly resilient to climate change
3 streams that modeled predictions have indicated to
highly susceptible to climate change
4 streams that have already been sampled yearly since
2008
46. Continuous Sampling Data will
include:
• Hydrology
• Geomorphology/Fish Habitat
• Water Quality
• Biota
Fish community
Invertebrates

Largemouth Bass Concerns
• How will increasing/expanding largemouth bass
populations affect walleye?
• Can we predict which lakes are most likely to
have increasing/expanding largemouth bass
populations?

– Modeled cumulative growing degree
days for each lake from 1980 to 2016
– Red dashed line is threshold for
largemouth bass success
• Hansen et al. In Press. Global
Change Biology
– Dark/light blue lines are lakes
without bass
• One lake (Wilson) was not included
in modeled data
– Graph shows lakes currently without
bass are experiencing >2,200
growing degree days more frequently
• Have potential to support largemouth
bass in the future
• Highlights importance of
understanding interactions between
species
