| Description: | Technical Report Abstract: Current guidance requires that climatic change must be considered in the Army’s Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan (INRMP), the goal of which is to ensure good stewardship of natural resources that is compatible with the military mission, and that prevents the net loss of the lands required to complete that mission. Military land managers deal with their lands in the context of the local ecosystem in which they reside. If that ecosystem changes, the land manager must determine how to care for those changing lands while still supporting the installations military mission. Consideration of local consequences of climate change must begin with a review of the local manifestations and implications of climate change. This document uses an installation-specific evaluation and analysis of climate change forecasts for Fort Bragg, NC using currently available climate change data to provide a forecasting approach suitable for land-locked terrestrial Army installations. |
