| Notes | This is a report for the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development. In a complex environment, multiple factors influence the effects of climate change. Nevertheless, “Climate change is expected to increase the occurrence of most climate-‐related risks considered in this report. The risks of heat waves are projected to increase with very high confidence due to strong evidence in published literature, model consensus, and robust theoretical principles for continued increasing temperatures.” (from the Abstract) Those who care about these issues will find this report of great interest. We learn, for example, that the Yaquina River Estuary will probably lose wetlands, while the Yachats River Estuary will gain wetlands due to climate change. |
