| Description | Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Community and Regional Planning, and Master of Water Resources, University of New Mexico. While climate variability is endemic to Southwest North America (SWNA), mounting evidence indicates the region is undergoing significant warming and becoming increasingly arid. Species are at or near their physiological limits at ecotone boundaries and are therefore particularly sensitive to climate change. Drought- and warming-associated tree mortality has been particularly acute in the semiarid forests and woodlands of the Jemez Mountains, New Mexico, USA, where ponderosa pine forests... |
