7 Selected GCM Scenarios Slide 7 Projection data generated by GCMs from CCCma (Canada), CSIRO (Australia), NCAR (USA) and NIES (Japan). [Data also available from IPCC 3 rd Assessment (TAR, 2001) (CCCma, CSIRO, Hadley Centre (UK) and NCAR.] SRES A2: increasing population, little technological change, greater deforestation, pollution and CO 2 emissions SRES B1: as A2, but rapid global shift towards resource-efficient technologies and reduced GHG emissions SRES B2: as B1, but more local efforts to increase resource efficiency and reduce emissions SRES A1B: higher population growth than A2, with balance of energy from fossil and renewable sources Monthly time series extending from 1961 to 2100, gridded to 5 arcminute (1/12 degree lat/lon) resolution about 10 km. 20 data sets in total. Lots of ways to use these data! Nakićenović et al IPCC Special Report on Emissions Scenarios.
8 Correcting for GCM bias Slide 8 Step 1: Determine mean of observations for reference period. Step 2: Determine mean of GCM projection for reference period. Step 3: Calculate delta values by subtracting (or dividing by) the GCM mean from Step 2 Step 4: Calculate corrected GCM data by adding (or multiplying by) the observed mean from Step 1

Future projections are 10-year moving averages of four GCMs, forced by one IPCC SRES GHG emissions scenario. Ranges are ±1 S.D.

18 Effects of climate change on Canadian boreal forests Slide 18 Climate zones shift northward (~10x rate of natural colonization) Maladaptation of species/genotypes that remain in situ Increased CO 2 may stimulate faster growth, due to synergistic effects of temperature increase on physiology and soil organic matter decomposition Natural disturbances (fire, insect outbreaks) likely to become more severe (with regional variations); possibilities for interactions Forest disease organisms and their potential responses are largely unknown Increased drought, particularly in south and west (Ted Hogg) Degradation of permafrost on a potentially huge scale (with significant likelihood of further large-scale GHG releases) Potential for ecosystem tipping points to be reached and exceeded

20 Species climate envelope (CE) modelling (McKenney et al. 2007) Slide 20 Most species distributions characterized by several thousand occurrence locations within the published range CEs based on temperature and precipitation regimes Climate profile generated at each species occurrence location (based on 6 climate variates) Maximum and minimum values of each climate variable determine full climate CEs (brown); 5% to 95% percentiles used to generate core CEs (green).

28 Conclusions - 1 Slide 28 We can be certain that climate change will have some major impacts on the boreal mixedwood region of Canada We are less certain about the timing and spatial distribution of these impacts Some effects are likely already in progress (but we lack some long-term monitoring capacity to be sure)..
29 Conclusions - 2 Slide 29 Optimal climate zones for most BMW species will shift northwards, causing management challenges, particularly in the south; significant shifts are very likely within yr. N.B. These are not projections of where species will be (slow colonization, poor soils, geographic barriers, etc.) Uncertainty should not deter managers from making decisions today which take climate change into account! (Some options, such as assisted migration, are now being investigated seriously in some Provinces.)
