Results of sensitivity analysis, indicating importance of climate-related variables in determining suitable habitat for trout under climate change

Condition Cutthroat Brook Rainbow Brown
Current suitable stream length 159 130 112 80
Projected suitable stream length under 2080s scenario 68 30 73 42
Projected in 2080s if no change in temperature 187 (×2.8) 92 (×3.1) 162 (×2.2) 45 (×1.1)
Projected in 2080s if no change in winter high flows 77 (×1.1) 45 (×1.5) 46 (×.63) 75 (×1.78)
Projected in 2080s if no change in temperature or winter high flows 205 (×3.0) 131 (×4.4) 114 (×1.6) 81 (×1.9)
Projected in 2080s if no change in mean flow 69 (×1.0) 30 (×1.0) 72 (×0.99) 41 (×0.98)

Values indicate projected length of suitable habitat under current conditions (row 1), under projections for the 2080s A1B composite scenario (row 2), and under the 2080s A1B composite scenario with selected climate metrics held constant at current levels (rows 3–6). Units are km × 1,000. Values in parentheses indicate change relative to the 2080s A1B composite scenario (row 2).
