![]() Based solely on predicted response to climate change, northern Mexican gartersnake and southwestern willow flycatcher are the most vulnerable to population declines. Further, specific areas of vulnerability, research needs, and management implications are identified for each species. ![]() This assessment uses SAVS, a vulnerability scoring tool based on ecological principles, to rank individual species of interest within the Fort Huachuca region according to predicted climate change responses and associated population declines balanced with responses expected to incur resilience or population increases. ![]() Nevertheless, a simple flexible strategy is needed to help integrate climate change into management planning and actions. The response of species to climate change is uncertain and will be the outcome of complex interactions and processes. This scenario is of particular concern for threatened, endangered, and at-risk species (TER-S) or other rare species. Future climate change is anticipated to result in ecosystem changes, and consequently, many species are expected to become increasingly vulnerable to extinction.
