San Diego County Ecosystems Assessment
The Ecological Impacts of Climate Change on a Biodiversity Hotspot
The San Diego County Ecosystems Assessment is a technical report for California's Fourth Climate Change Assessment that provides an overview of the state of the science for climate change impacts to ecosystems and species in the region with specific guidance for managers.
Valuing Carbon Sequestration in Natural Landscapes
Ongoing Efforts and Future Opportunities
California’s chaparral ecosystems have been largely excluded from carbon sequestration evaluations and planning due to lack of understanding about carbon dynamics in these systems. However, chaparral is the most extensive vegetation type in the state with potential for above- and below-ground carbon storage.
