Great Plains regional technical input report / lead authors, Dennis S. Ojima, Jean Steiner, Shannon McNeely, Karen Cozetto, Amber N. Childress. - 1 online resource - NCA Regional Input Reports . - NCA Regional Input Reports. .
Includes bibliographical references.
1. Great Plains: Social-Ecological Setting (Climate-Environment-Society) Natural Resources and Wildlife Aspects -- 2. Characteristics of Argricultural System and Energy Resources -- 3. Climate Conditions and Scenarios of Change across the Great Plains.-4. Water Management -- 5. Ecosystem and Biodiversity Conservation Issues -- 6. Energy Considerations -- 7. Agriculture and Land Management -- 8. Great Plains Societal Considerations: Impacts and Consequences Vulnerability and Risk, Adaptive Capacity, Response Options -- 9. Collabrative Research and Management Interactions in Response to Climate Change.
Prepared for the 2013 National Climate Assessment and a landmark study in terms of its breadth and depth of coverage, Great Plains Regional Technical Input Reportis the result of a collaboration among numerous local, state, federal, and nongovernmental agencies to develop a comprehensive, state of the art look at the effects of climate change on the eight states that encompass the Great Plains region. The Great Plains States are already experiencing the impacts of a changing climate, and will likely continue to experience warming temperatures, more extreme precipitation events, reduced snow and ice cover and rising relative sea levels. The book presents a review of the historic, current, and the projected future climate of the region; describes interactions with important sectors of the Northeast and examines cross-sectoral issues, namely climate change mitigation, adaptation, and education and outreach. Rich in science and case studies, it examines the latest climate change impacts, scenarios, vulnerabilities, and adaptive capacity and offers decision makers and stakeholders a substantial basis from which to make informed choices that will affect the well-being of the regions inhabitants in the decades to come.
