Abstract

This is a recording of Session Three of the virtual National Adaptation Forum Heat Stress Series, brought to you by EcoAdapt. 

Rising temperatures have significant impacts on ecosystems. This session will consider the effects of heat stress on a range of species and ecosystems across North America, including aquatic, terrestrial, and marine habitats, and natural resources management strategies to adapt to these challenges to protect species as well as ecosystem services that support human communities.
