Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment: Estuarine habitats (New Hampshire)

Primary tabs


Unpublished

Assessment full text: 

This habitat was described as vulnerable to climate change because of the following factors:

  • Increasing freshwater runoff events will result in sudden inputs of warm water particularly during summer, increased sedimentation and turbidity, erosion, higher nutrient inputs, and periods of lower salinity
  • Extended summer droughts may result in lower nutrient inputs, but higher temperatures could lead to hypoxia
  • Higher temperatures may benefit pathogens or invasive species?
Habitats and Communities (Ecogroups): 
Coastal: Shellfish beds
Assessment reference label:
