In this study, we evaluate the climate change vulnerability of a subset of key species found in the Cumberland Piedmont Network (CUPN) of the National Park Service (NPS), an ecologically important and diverse region. We developed a list of species of conservation concern (globally and sub-nationally) within each of the fourteen NPS units in the CUPN. Next, we employed NatureServe’s Climate Change Vulnerability Index (CCVI) in order to determine which of those species may be most vulnerable to climate change, based on each species’ 1) direct exposure to climate change, 2) indirect exposure to climate change, 3) sensitivity, and 4) documented/ modeled response to climate change. CCVI results showed a range of vulnerability scores among taxonomic groups, including high vulnerability for mollusks and low vulnerability for migrant songbirds. Furthermore, we found that species of conservation concern were not necessarily those most vulnerable to climate change.

These materials are the results of a project conducted by the Open Space Institute in 2011. They include a project review presentation describing methodology, and species assessment results. The full assessment area, referred to as Research Region, includes most of the Cumberland - Southern Appalachian and portions of the Central Appalachian subregions. A second smaller assessment area, referred to as Research Subregion, is confined to southeastern Tennessee, northeastern Alabama, and northwestern Georgia. Species assessment results are provided in the NatureServe Climate Change Vulnerability Index (CCVI) tool as four separate spreadsheets: terrestrial species in Research Region, terrestrial species in Research Subregion, aquatic species in Research Region, and aquatic species in Research Subregion.
