11 foreword Land managers have a responsibility to preserve the ecological integrity of the landscapes they manage. Climate change is a global phenomenon affecting these landscapes in complex ways. Adaptation to climate change to sustain ecological integrity requires understanding how this global phenomenon will play out at the landscape scale. Thus, managers and members of the public who care about natural systems share a need to translate the effects of global climate change to the scale of a park, forest, refuge, or other management unit. Complicating this translation are coincident and interacting changes in land use. The challenge of maintaining the ecological integrity of natural landscapes under the dual onslaught of climate change and land use change is a seemingly hopeless task for those managing locally without direct access to the regional, much less global, picture. Bringing the bigger picture to land managers responding to a rapidly changing world is possible, as the following pages make clear. Required is an integration of the latest observation technologies, including satellites imaging globally at landscape resolutions (i.e., pixel sizes ranging from tens to hundreds of square meters) and an interoperable framework for climate and ecological models to relate climate and land use changes to ecological responses. This book represents the capstone of the Landscape Climate Change Vulnerability Project (LCCVP). NASA funded the LCCVP in 2011 to explore the potential of using a range of observations from satellites to in situ sensors with a wide array of models, all operating on a powerful computer platform, to forecast the vulnerability of ecosystems and individual species to the inseparable twin threats of climate change and land use change. The project focus has been landscapes managed by federal land managers. More specifically, the project provided analyses, decision support tools, and dialogue on climate adaptation for managers working in two landscape conservation cooperatives, or LCCs: the Great Northern LCC and the Appalachian LCC. Both LCCs center on mountain ranges, typically seen as areas of rapid biological movement under changing climate. However, the contrasting responses of life in these two North American mountain chains to recent climate reflect the complex and unique ways in which similar but xi
12 xii Foreword different ecosystems react locally to a global phenomenon. These differing responses point to the necessity of downscaling the impacts of climate change and land use change as closely as possible to the local level, because nationally even regionally modeled responses are insufficient to address management needs. This book is for those attempting to maintain natural ecosystems and the species within them through a period of interacting climate change and land use change. It is also for anyone interested in understanding the effects of these changes on wildlands. Despite the challenging goals, there is much hope in these pages. We are developing the tools to allow humans to predict and visualize the impacts of change, natural and anthropogenic, on the world around us the world on which we all depend for countless environmental goods and services. As a species, we perhaps stand alone in the degree to which our actions affect the entire planet. A global footprint carries with it great responsibility for how one steps out in the world. Yet stepping responsibly requires better understanding of how natural systems function and respond to change. The authors assemble cutting-edge research and twenty-first-century technologies to offer stewards and users of public lands and surrounding private lands a detailed view of the future for North American mountain ecosystems. In so doing, they show the way for those interested in conserving natural systems on a changing planet.

13 acknowledgments Many people and organizations contributed to bringing this book to fruition. Funding was provided by the NASA Applied Sciences Program (10-BIOCLIM , 05-DEC05-S2-0010), the NASA Earth and Space Science Fellowship (15-EARTH15R-0003), the NASA Land Cover Land Use Change Program (05-LC/LUC ), the North Central Climate Sciences Center (G13AC00394, G14AP00181, G15AP00074), and NSF EPSCoR Track-I EPS (INSTEP 3). Program managers administrating this support include Woody Turner, Jay Skiles, Garik Gutman, and Jeff Morisette. Grant administration at Montana State University was enabled by Julie Geyer, Joan McDonald, Barbara Bungee, and Sondra Torma. In-kind support for salaries of federal employees on the research team was provided by the DOI Great Northern Landscape Conservation Cooperative and the DOI National Park Service Inventory and Monitoring Program, Climate Change Response Programs, and the Intermountain Region. The work benefited from discussions with many scientists, including Richard Waring, Steve Running, Cathy Whitlock, Jeff Morisette, Dennis Ojima, Robert Keane, Dave Roberts, Joseph Barsugli, Gary Tabor, Ben Poulter, Brian Miller, Shannon McNeeley, Nick Fisichelli, Gregor Schuurman, Jeff Connor, Tammy Cook, Ann Rodman, Roy Renkin, P. J. White, Doug Smith, Molly Cross, Arjun Adhikari, Kathryn Ireland, and Regan Nelson. Linda Phillips coordinated communication among the book s authors, production of graphics, and formatting of chapters. Barbara Dean and Erin Johnson, editors from Island Press, guided us through the process from an initial query letter through production of the book. Several federal resource specialists closely collaborated with the research team (see table 3-1 in chapter 3). Most central in linking the science with agency managers were Virginia Kelly (Greater Yellowstone Coordinating Committee), Ben Bobowski (Rocky Mountain National Park), Dave Hallac and Ann Rodman (Yellowstone National Park), Kristin Legg (NPS I&M Greater Yellowstone Network), Matt Marshall (NPS I&M Eastern Rivers xiii
14 xiv Acknowledgments and Mountains Network), Jim Renfro (Great Smoky Mountains National Park), Jim Schaberl (Shenandoah National Park), Karl Buermeyer and Dan Reinhart (Greater Yellowstone Coordinating Committee Whitebark Pine Subcommittee), Richard Evans and Leslie Morelock (Delaware Water Gap National Recreational Area), Robert Emmott (NPS I&M Appalachian Highlands Network), Jim Comiskey (NPS I&M Mid-Atlantic Network), Sue Consolo Murphy and Kelly McClosky (Grand Teton National Park), and Mike Britten (NPS I&M Rocky Mountain Network). The authors of the chapters invested heavily in telling the stories of climate change in the Rockies and the Appalachian Mountains and were responsive to the many rounds of revisions the book underwent. We sincerely thank all of these individuals and organizations.
