Climate Change Continued • A1B SRES regional climate change scenario for central North America • 2.4 and 6.4 o C above 2000 conditions for the summer months (June – August) by the years 2080 – 2099 (IPCC Working Group I, 2007) • Transform marginal or near marginal habitat into unsuitable habitat • Restrict suitable summer habitat to directly downstream of springs and expand suitable winter habitat (Meisner et al., 1988)

Management for Mitigation •Increase snow trapping in riparian areas •Provide riparian shading •Encourage stream deepening and narrowing •Reduce temperatures of shallow groundwater aquifer
