Service Description:

The Nature Conservancy’s Center for Resilient Conservation Science (CRCS) led a project to assess the characteristics of freshwater systems in the conterminous United States that convey resilience to climate change and identify a representative set of resilient freshwater networks that if conserved, could sustain aquatic biodiversity into the future. Freshwater Resilience is the ability of a stream network or other aquatic setting to maintain biologic diversity even as the systems change in composition and structure in response to changes in climate. The CRCS’s approach to mapping terrestrial resilience (https://maps.tnc.org/resilientland) identifies areas of high physical diversity and connectedness both locally and regionally, based on enduring features that give species habitat options and the ability to move as the climate changes. This approach, called Conserving Nature’s Stage (Anderson et al. 2014), recognizes that while the actors at any given site may change, we can focus conservation efforts on maintaining the diversity and ecological function of the stage. Similarly, this freshwater resilience analysis identified enduring features that confer resilience for freshwater biodiversity in a changing climate.
