Climate change and bull trout
Bull trout sensitive to loss of cold water
Water temperature data are limitedElevation and air temperature data are not• Can these variables predict effects of
climate change?

What will change?
• Elevations and long-lat won’t change• Air temps will increase
– But air doesn’t heat water efficiently

What will change?
• Elevations and long-lat won’t change• Air temps will increase
– But air doesn’t heat water• The sun (and short wave radiation) will still
be here– But riparian zones could change

What will change?
• Elevations and long-lat won’t change• Air temps will increase
– But air doesn’t heat water• The sun will still be here
– But riparian zones could change• Stream hydrology will change
– indirect influences of timing, amount, type of precipitation and routing of water

Bottom lines for bull trout
•Temperature is critical•But the future is highly uncertain
•Other influences may be critical•Stream bed scour, disturbance
•Surprises likely from interacting factors•Invasive species•Climate impacts on other factors (e.g., wildfire)•Other changing human influences

Can we apply dendro methods to learn abouthow different species and ecosystems respondto climate change?

Opening a new toolbox
• How do species in different ecosystems actually respond to climate change?
• What influences appear to be the most important in driving responses?– Local, regional, seasonal?

Opening a new toolbox
• How do species in different ecosystems actually respond to climate change?
• What influences appear to be the most important in driving responses?
• Can we use biological chronologies to reconstruct environmental histories?
• Can we use bio-chronologies to look even deeper into history???– Middens, museum collections
