Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment in the Upper Snake River Watershed Project Overview IDAHO OREGON NEVADA UTAH Project Area ATE SCIENC E CLIM Project Process This project evaluated the relative climate change vulnerability of some of the species, habitats, and resource issues that are important and valuable to USRT member tribes. Direct and ongoing participation with tribal leadership, staff, and membership was central to the success of this assessment. This collaboration included traditional knowledge, tribal priorities, local scientific observation, downscaled climate projections, and the best available science on how climate change will affect natural resources.

The four member tribes of the Upper Snake River Tribes (USRT) Foundation—Burns Paiute Tribe, Fort McDermitt Paiute-Shoshone Tribe, Shoshone-Bannock Tribes, and Shoshone-Paiute Tribes—have already noticed shifts in species and habitats driven by increasing temperatures and changing precipitation patterns. Such changes have resulted in drying sagebrush steppe habitat, extended wildfire seasons, less winter precipitation falling as snow, earlier spring run-off, lower summer streamflows, higher water temperatures, reduced flow from springs/ seeps, proliferation of invasive weeds, and decreasing productivity of rangeland.

This overview sheet is part of a series of handouts from this assessment. Other handouts summarize climate change vulnerability in the Upper Snake River Watershed for Big Sagebrush, Black-tailed Jackrabbit, Chinook Salmon, Columbia Spotted Frog, Common Chokecherry, Geyer’s Willow, Mule Deer, and Riparian Habitat.
