Resources
Although vulnerability assessments specific to wetland ecosystems are not available through the NIACS Climate Change Response Framework, there are partner resources that summarize climate impacts relevant to wetland ecosystems that can help when assessing site vulnerability.
The Wisconsin Initiative on Climate Change Impacts (WICCI) has produced numerous plant community climate vulnerability assessments.
