"The ability to identify ecologically vulnerable coastal wetlands is a significant advancement in conservation and environmental management for the Great Lakes ecosystem. In this study, a team of Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) scientists used a novel, science-based framework to assess the vulnerability of 20 Canadian coastal wetlands to climate change across Lakes Ontario, Erie, St. Clair, and Huron, as well as the St. Marys, Detroit, and St. Lawrence Rivers. Two coastal wetland study sites originally selected for Lake Superior were not included in the final assessment. The study improves the understanding of climate change vulnerability by integrating new regional climate and lake-level projections, modelled wetland responses and sensitivity, and the capacity of wetlands to adapt to climate disturbances based on current biological and physical factors"--Executive summary, page 6.

"Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) completed a study to assess the vulnerability of Great Lakes coastal wetlands to climate change, develop adaptive measures to build wetland resilience, and communicate results to wetland stakeholders and practitioners. This Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment considered how wetlands are expected to change in response to future environmental conditions driven by climate change (i.e. Sensitivity based on Exposure), plus the ability of the wetlands to continue to function despite those changes (i.e. Adaptive Capacity). This report describes the Sensitivity component of the overall Vulnerability Assessment"--Executive summary, page ii.

"This project assessed the climate change vulnerability of 20 coastal wetlands along the Canadian shoreline of the Laurentian Great Lakes by combining the results of an analysis of Wetland Sensitivity (i.e., wetland vegetation response to climate change) with the results of an analysis of Adaptive Capacity (i.e., measuring the innate ability for a wetland to cope and adapt to climate change). Stakeholders and wetland managers can use the Vulnerability Index generated to identify, develop and prioritize adaptation strategies aimed at enhancing the resilience of GLCW ecological goods and services. The objective of this technical report was to operationalize the concept of Adaptive Capacity by developing and interpreting the results of a composite indicator (i.e., a weighted combination of variables). Adaptive Capacity cannot be directly measured, therefore to operationalize this metric, measurable natural and anthropogenic variables with a scientifically supported effect on wetland stability and plasticity were selected"--Executive summary, page 7.

"The sensitivity of Great Lakes coastal wetlands to global warming was assessed using a Coastal Wetland Response Model (CWRM), which predicts the spatiotemporal succession of large wetland classes based on hydrodynamic and waves time series. The CWRM, which simulates physical (water depth and waves) and environmental (vegetation distribution) conditions, was adapted to twenty wetland sites along the Canadian Great Lakes coastline. The model links large-scale dynamics (i.e. those that define the Great Lakes climate and hydrodynamics) to small-scale processes that explain changes in wetland class distribution through changes in physical conditions"--Executive summary, page 7.

"Climate change is impacting aquatic ecosystems in the Great Lakes Basin (GLB). Surface water temperatures of the Great Lakes, inland lakes and streams are on the rise, water levels are in decline, and the composition of plant and animal communities in wetlands are changing. The objectives of this study were to assess the vulnerability of different indicators; wetland vulnerability to drying, wetland bird species habitat, stream temperatures, stream thermal habitat, inland lake surface temperatures, and walleye biomass, to inform the development of a climate change adaptation strategy for aquatic ecosystems within the GLB of Ontario. Climate models forecast a 4 to 6 degrees C warming of mean annual air temperatures and regional changes in precipitation by the end of the century."--Summary.
