Projected Impacts of Climate, Urbanization, Water Management, and Wetland Restoration on Waterbird Habitat in California’s Central Valley
The Central Valley of California is one of the most important regions for wintering waterbirds in North America despite extensive anthropogenic landscape modification and decline of historical wetlands there. Like many other mediterranean-climate ecosystems across the globe, the Central Valley has been subject to a burgeoning human population and expansion and intensification of agricultural an...
متن کاملIrish Wetland Bird Survey: Results of Waterbird Monitoring in Ireland
Ireland supports a high diversity and large numbers of high latitude-nesting waterfowl during the non-breeding season. Located at the southern edge of the major flyways of many species, its mild climate ensures that feeding is rarely interrupted by freezing conditions. Some species migrate here, while others use Ireland as a stopover site, while en route to more southerly wintering areas. We th...
متن کاملBiotic wetland connectivity—supporting a new approach for wetland policy
Wetlands are key habitats connected physically and socially with processes occurring over a much wider territory. The biotic connection through dispersal mechanisms among wetlands is of primary importance to wetland management and policies. However, traditional wetland conservation approaches are based on the preservation of isolated sites considered to be of special importance (typically owing...
متن کاملHow will climate change affect endangered Mediterranean waterbirds?
Global warming and direct anthropogenic impacts, such as water extraction, largely affect water budgets in Mediterranean wetlands, thereby increasing wetland salinities and isolation, and decreasing water depths and hydroperiods (duration of the inundation period). These wetland features are key elements structuring waterbird communities. However, the ultimate and net consequences of these dyna...
متن کاملWater resources, climate change and human vulnerability
It is well recognised today that climate change is affecting the Earth’s physical and biological systems, and is expected to do so on forthcoming decadal to century timescales. A need exists for useable predictions of the impacts associated with such climate change, and the likely societal responses to these. This must also be seen in the context of other drivers of global change, and be presen...
