Identifying Species in Pennsylvania Potentially Vulnerable to Climate Change
Climate change will likely impact the distribution and abundance of plant and animal
species in Pennsylvania. Those species vulnerable to climate may experience a shift in
their ranges within the state. Recognizing climate change vulnerability is an important
first step in preparing for future conservation efforts. However, no assessments have yet
been conducted to determine which Pennsylvania species are vulnerable to climate
change. The goals of this project were to 1) compile a priority list of species occurring in
Pennsylvania that are likely vulnerable to climate change and 2) examine the climate
change vulnerability of species included in the priority list. The overall objective was to
not only identify climate change vulnerable species but to also examine the abiotic
factors and life history characteristics that contribute to their increased vulnerability.
