2 Temperature Changes in California: different emissions scenarios. (California Climate Change Center, 2006)

3 Changes in California Snowpack (California Climate Change Center, 2006)

4 Changes in Vegetation Cover and Forest Yields Forest Yield = amount of timber products from a growing forest (California Climate Change Center, 2006)

5

6

7 Wildfire Frequency in California (California Climate Change Center, 2006)

8 Alpine Plant Species Alpine and subalpine ecosystems are the most fragile and threatened -have limited opportunity to move “up slope” -will decline by as much as 60-80%
