204 | | -<p>Climate change is already altering water, vegetation, and wildfire on our natural lands. An increasing percentage of precipitation in our mountains falls as rain instead of snow, shifting the timing of streamflow. Higher temperatures are increasing vegetation water stress, making forests more vulnerable to drought. Higher temperatures are also decreasing fuel moisture, making our natural lands easier to burn.</p> |
