Understanding how climate change will impact natural and human communities is a crucial part of decision making and management related to the protection of our coasts. As the effects of climate change on ecological communities grow, the possibility of crossing tipping points or thresholds of viability increases the potential for rapid and possibly irreversible changes in ecosystems. Therefore, understanding thresholds related to climate change is critical for facilitating conservation and management actions, which could help to prevent more costly and possibly catastrophic effects in the future. As part of a broad effort to synthesize and deliver coastal resilience information through the Landscape Conservation...

“Slowing the flow” is an ecological flood mitigation technique that uses riparian ecosystems to delay the rate at which water passes through a watershed by increasing upstream storage in soil, vegetation, surface water, and ground water. This project assessed the potential contributions of slow-the-flow watershed management in a changing climate through a combination of original research, stakeholder workshops, and the establishment of a stakeholder working group. Research, co-produced with stakeholders, investigates the effects of climate and riparian conservation on river flows, sediment transport, and nutrient loadings. Two studies developed and applied models and data to measure the impacts of natural infrastructure...
