Assessing the vulnerability of Great Lakes coastal wetlands to climate change.: CW66-778/4-2022E-PDF
"The ability to identify ecologically vulnerable coastal wetlands is a significant advancement in conservation and environmental management for the Great Lakes ecosystem. In this study, a team of Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) scientists used a novel, science-based framework to assess the vulnerability of 20 Canadian coastal wetlands to climate change across Lakes Ontario, Erie, St. Clair, and Huron, as well as the St. Marys, Detroit, and St. Lawrence Rivers. Two coastal wetland study sites originally selected for Lake Superior were not included in the final assessment. The study improves the understanding of climate change vulnerability by integrating new regional climate and lake-level projections, modelled wetland responses and sensitivity, and the capacity of wetlands to adapt to climate disturbances based on current biological and physical factors"--Executive summary, page 6.
