Description

This vulnerability assessment is an initial science‐based effort to identify how and why important
resources (snow, ice, and water features; riparian vegetation; fish species) across the Tongass National
Forest are likely to be affected by both non‐climate stressors and future climate conditions. In this
assessment, vulnerability is a function of the sensitivity of the resource to climate and non‐climate stressors, its anticipated exposure to climatic changes, and its capacity to adapt to or cope with changes
