Abstract
Protected area networks are the foundation of conservation, even in northern Canada where anthropogenic impact on the landscape is currently limited. However, the value of protected areas may be undermined by climate change in this region where the rate and magnitude is high, and shifts in vegetation communities and associated wildlife species are already underway. Based on an existing modeled dataset from Scenarios Network for Alaska and Arctic Planning (SNAP), Yukon may lose seven cliomes and gain one by the 2090s. These projections are likely to be highly informative for planning, monitoring, and management of Yukon’s protected area network.
