Summary

In the U.S-Affiliated Pacific Islands, land and resource managers are addressing co-occurring threats to their landscapes including invasive species, wildfire, drought, and a changing climate. In particular, drought events in the Pacific Islands can be extremely impactful, causing drinking water shortages with millions of dollars spent on relief efforts, and extensive crop damage. Drought also increases in the size, severity and extent of wildfires that burn incredibly large percentages of island land areas. As ecosystems become altered by invasive species and as particularly hotter, more variable climates emerge, it is critical that scientists produce locally relevant, timely, and actionable science products to help managers prepare [...]
