Abstract

This assessment was created to highlight vulnerabilities specific to California rangelands’ unique geography and ecology and to provide a foundation for developing tools and practices that increase rancher and rangeland resilience to climate change. Topics covered in the assessment include: --- An overview of rangelands and ranching in California --- Mid-century projections of water stress on rangeland plants --- Anticipated biophysical changes to rangelands ---Socioeconomic and policy factors affecting rangeland sustainability --- Adaptation options for rangeland managers --- Future research needs
