A team of researchers from the University of Tennessee and Mississippi State University have received a USDA NIFA grant to develop and apply a framework to optimize conservation investment strategies based on climate change risk for forest-based biodiversity. Four taxonomic groups (amphibians, birds, mammals and reptiles) in the central and southern Appalachian region are the focus of the work.
