Uniting Central and Southwest Florida to Protect Water and Wildlife
CLIMATE CHANGE IN INLAND COMMUNITIES Extreme temperatures Wildfires Plant changes • Increased frequency and severity of storms Increased flooding and wind damage Increased evapotranspiration rates Lower groundwater levels Habitat migration Uniting Central and Southwest Florida to Protect Water and Wildlife NOAA
• Evapotranspiration expected to increase 7%, decreasing wetland levels and hydroperiods
Uniting Central and Southwest Florida to Protect Water and Wildlife
• Rainfall changes uncertain with precipitation amounts fluctuate 10% above and below normal averages
• If there is a decrease in effective precipitation, it could result in a decrease of ground water levels – affecting both natural systems, public groundwater supplies and wildfires
INLAND IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE
• Sea level rise is not the climate stressor inland but increased temperatures and evapotranspiration is anticipated to have significant hydrological impacts inland
Different levels of risk of transitioning from one type to another:
Uniting Central and Southwest Florida to Protect Water and Wildlife
Low Risk: approximate same wetness for current habitat type
PLANT & CROP IMPACTS FROM CLIMATE CHANGE
Medium Risk: between the mean and a standard deviation below the mean wetness to support the current habitat type
High Risk: below minimum threshold to support current habitat
