Adapting conservation to a changing climate: an update to the Illinois Wildlife Action Plan
Full report of methods and results of climate change vulnerability assessments of 162 species in greatest conservation need.
New Climate Change Vulnerability Assessments for 41 Species
This spreadsheet functions as a tool to determine climate change vulnerability of species. Information is entered in the calculator, and results are stored in the results tab. Explanations of climate change measures and species-specific attributes that contribute to adaptive capacity are in subsequent tabs. The documentation tab provides justification for ratings of each individual factor, with a complete list of references also provided in a separate tab. Also available for download below is the county distribution for 41 of the species evaluated.

Instructions – Central Appalachian Spreadsheet
This spreadsheet is a subset of a larger data set that contains a compilation of climate change vulnerability scores for over 700 species in the Appalachian LCC.
Assessing the Potential Effects of Climate Change on Species in the Cumberland Piedmont Network of the National Park Service
In this study, we evaluate the climate change vulnerability of a subset of key species found in the Cumberland Piedmont Network (CUPN) of the National Park Service (NPS), an ecologically important and diverse region. We developed a list of species of conservation concern (globally and sub-nationally) within each of the fourteen NPS units in the CUPN. Next, we employed NatureServe’s Climate Change Vulnerability Index (CCVI) in order to determine which of those species may be most vulnerable to climate change, based on each species’ 1) direct exposure to climate change, 2) indirect exposure to climate change, 3) sensitivity, and 4) documented/ modeled response to climate change. CCVI results showed a range of vulnerability scores among taxonomic groups, including high vulnerability for mollusks and low vulnerability for migrant songbirds. Furthermore, we found that species of conservation concern were not necessarily those most vulnerable to climate change.
How-To Guide for Using Appalachian LCC Expertise Database
This guide describes the Appalachian LCC database and contains instruction to explain how users can utilize this resource. There is also a brief explanation on how users can edit their profile to include their own expertise information into the database.
