Assessing Climate Change - Friends of Saguaro National Park

Recently, utilizing a grant from the Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust to Friends of Saguaro -- Saguaro National Park initiated scientific research to help managers develop proactive management strategies to adapt to climate change, and to engage the public in specific conservation efforts that will address long-term environmental change at the park. Understanding climate/ecological dynamics is important to both short-term management decisions and long-term planning for projected climate change.  What are the changes in animal and plant composition, structure, and productivity that are occurring in the desert ecosystem?  How will wildlife and plants respond to increasing variability in climate-related parameters, such as temperature, mean rainfall, and aridity? Climate change is expected to alter ground and surface water quantity, as well as seasonal patterns of flooding and drought -- and the park
