Taccimo
Template for Assessing Climate Change Impacts and Management Options
Researchers with the Eastern Forest and Western Wildland Environmental Threat Assessment Centers, collaborating with the Southern and Pacific Southwest Regions, recently enhanced the web-based Template for Assessing Climate Change Impacts and Management Options tool – which now has more than 1,000 effects of climate change.
The tool links climate change forecasts, ecosystem impacts, and management options through a customized reporting format relevant to forest planners and managers.
Through an expanded and searchable climate literature database, this tool content represents natural resource issues in the eastern and western U.S., streamlining reporting functionality, and providing additional support and training resources.
The Template for Assessing Climate Change Impacts and Management Options (TACCIMO) is a Web-based tool that provides land owners, managers, and planners with the most current climate change science available:
- compiles climate change projections, literature-based impacts and management options, and Forest Service land and resource management plans in an online database;
- synthesizes these inputs based on user-defined criteria; and
- creates an optional customized report to aid forest planning and management.
