Impacts of Climate Change on Columbia River Salmon

"The goal of this review was to identify literature published in 2013 that is most relevant to prediction and mitigation of impacts of climate change on Columbia River salmon listed under the Endangered Species Act. Because almost anything that affects salmon is related to or altered in some way by changes in temperature, stream flow, or marine conditions, a large amount of literature related to this topic was necessarily excluded. In our literature search, we elected to focus on peer-reviewed scientific journals included in the Web of Science database, although we occasionally included highly influential grey literature. We sought to capture the most relevant papers by combining climatic and salmonid terms in search criteria. This excluded studies of general principles demonstrated in other taxa or within a broader context. In total, we reviewed over 1,300 papers, 195 of which were included in this summary"--page 1. 2014 NMFS (National Marine Fisheries Service) NWFSC (Northwest Fisheries Science Center) Submitted Public Domain 1861
