Design and validation of a data-driven infrastructure decision and planning framework for improving climate resiliency of small municipalities and rural communities
The Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change calls for local governments to be the drivers toward resilient communities concerning climate change. Resilient municipalities must make decisions incorporating climate change to reinvest in an aging infrastructure network. The challenge is that small …

PERSPECTIVES ON WATER MANAGEMENT FROM LOCAL WATER DECISION MAKERS IN A COASTAL REGION
The effects of climate change are already apparent in eastern North Carolina. Higher than average global temperatures have been implicated in more extreme weather events, with more frequent and intense storms and prolonged periods without precipitation. Some of the impacts include flooding, …

Competitive status of red spruce (Picea rubens) and Fraser fir (Abies fraseri) at ecotonal transitions in southern Appalachian sky islands
… concern is encroachment of hardwoods upslope as climate change-driven milder temperatures and high precipitation confine spruce-fir forests to even higher elevations. We performed a dendrochronological analysis of growth rates in red spruce, Fraser fir, and competing hardwoods between cover types …

The Evaluation of Root System Architecture (RSA) As A New Breeding Target for Climate-Resilient Winter Wheat (Tritium aestivum L.)
… increased biotic and abiotic barriers induced by climate change. Historically, shoot-based traits were breeding targets for overcoming yield gaps between developed and undeveloped nations. However, the rate of genetic gain has stabilized with conventional breeding targets for indirect yield …
