New on the Climate Commons: Rangelands and Climate Change Climate change and rangeland scientists, ranchers, and land managers have developed scenarios to address a primary management question: How can we maintain viable ranchland and their ecosystem services in light of future integrated threats? The scenarios represent alternative futures of climate/land use/hydrological change for the Central Valley, surrounding foothills, and most of the southern Inner Coast Range. The project scientists have developed a new article to facilitate use of these rangeland scenarios "How to Use the Threat Assessments on California Rangelands Maps to Inform Land Use Decisions" President's Budget Increases LCC Support Good news! The President's budget request for fiscal year 2016 includes important increases for LCCs to continue our unique work with the conservation community. This summary, provides a quick look at the President's request compared to past LCC budgets and the justification behind this request.

Kai Foster, manager of PAD US (CBI Edition) a national database of protected lands in the United States, will present the newly added attribution on protected area establishment date. The database portrays the nation's protected areas with standardized spatial geometry and numerous valuable attributes on land ownership, management designations, conservation status and now establishment dates.

Other News Hydrologic Change in California's Watersheds A new article "The magnitude and spatial patterns of historical and future hydrologic change in California's watersheds," models climate change impacts on the hydrology of California watersheds. Authors used the Basin Characterization Model to project the magnitude and spatial distribution of hydrologic changes such as climatic water deficit, April 1st snowpack, recharge, and runoff to over 5,000 watersheds. Another new article, "Adapting California's Ecosystems to a Changing Climate," demonstrates how this kind of information is being used across the state to advance climate change planning.
