Considerations of Scale for Restoration Kris Lightner CFR 521

How will climate change impact where and how we approach restoration in riparian systems?

System Components: -Temperature -Precipitation System Components: -Temperature -Precipitation -Hydrology -Species Composition -Sedimentation -Geomorphology -Humans!

Tipping Points (and recovery from the BEYOND) Scheffer, M., S. Carpenter, J. A. Foley, C. Folke and B. Walker. 2001. Catastrophic Shifts in Ecosystems. Nature Vol. 413, pp. 591-596

System Response to Disturbances Pulsed – short term, intense event (hurricanes, fire, flooding, land conversion, mass wasting) Ramp – long term, steady pressure (drought, sedimentation, succession/loss, temperature) * Vary in space and time! Zedler, Joy B. and Janelle M. West. 2008. Declining Diversity in Natural and Restored Salt Marshes: A 30-Year Study of Tijuana Estuary. Restoration Ecology Vol. 16, No. 2, pp. 249–262

Climate as Disturbance * Gradual change with pulsed events; magnification of the “usual suspects” Gradual: Increased temperature Sea level rise Pulsed: Precipitation = flashier/dryer systems Storm severity and frequency

Species Response to Disturbance California Condor Ability to adapt to disturbance, but restoration as well? Burrowing Owl
