项目摘要
Climate change is expected to result in increased global mean temperatures that will lead to movement of tropical and sub-tropical species toward the poles, a process known as “tropicalization”. Changes in precipitation patterns are predicted to be spatially variable, with some regions becoming drier and others wetter. The ecology and health of stream ecosystems are particularly susceptible to changes in rainfall and temperature. Simultaneously, the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events are expected to increase, and it is unknown how these extreme events will interact with gradual changes in temperature and precipitation to affect stream ecosystems. This research evaluates how a recent extreme event, the February 2021 “polar vortex” in Texas, interacts with changing mean climate conditions to predict how climate change will impact the structure and function of U.S. stream ecosystems in the coming decades. The research leverages a steep, natural rainfall gradient that features an abrupt shift in stream community composition and ecosystem functioning between semi-arid and mesic ecosystems. Repeated field measurements are being made for one year after the polar vortex and these data compared to prior data collected from these streams over the last 4 years. This work greatly increases our understanding of how climate change will affect sub-tropical stream ecosystems and their biota. Training of undergraduates (including minority) and graduate students along with community outreach via an established K–12 program contribute to the project’s broader impacts for society.The goals of this research are to characterize the direct and indirect impacts of an extreme cold event (ECE) on stream ecosystem structure and function and to examine the role of organism traits and local environmental features that drive these effects. Punctuated low temperatures below an organism’s thermal limits can result in physiological, behavioral, and fitness consequences. These events are particularly important in the context of understanding tropicalization. Warm-adapted species are expanding poleward but lack adaptations for cold conditions, and thus may be more vulnerable to ECEs, driving mass mortality events. The impact of mass mortality events on ecosystem functioning may last for months to years and result in population declines, changes to community composition, and the contribution of dead individuals to the organic matter pool. The following hypotheses are being tested: 1) mesic streams will have greater thermal buffering capacity than semi-arid sites due to their greater discharge per unit watershed and greater tree canopy that creates a microclimate above the water surface; 2) taxa in semi-arid streams will have greater cold tolerance because many of them have adaptations to cope with harsh conditions; 3) taxa with neotropical ancestry will have lower cold tolerance due to a lack of adaptions for cold stress; 4) fish and invertebrate mortality will indirectly affect the abundance of algae and benthic organic matter, impacting stream metabolism. Because ECEs may become more common in the future, studying this historically rare event may help us understand how ECEs may interact with “tropicalization”. Furthermore, the utilization of a steep rainfall gradient provides an exceptional opportunity to study the interaction between extreme disturbance and long-term climate conditions.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
预计气候变化将导致全球平均气温上升,导致热带和亚热带物种向两极迁移,这一过程被称为“热带化”。预测降水模式的变化在空间上是可变的,一些地区变得更干燥,另一些地区变得更潮湿。河流生态系统的生态和健康特别容易受到降雨和温度变化的影响。与此同时,极端天气事件的频率和强度预计将增加,目前尚不清楚这些极端事件将如何与温度和降水的逐渐变化相互作用,影响河流生态系统。这项研究评估了最近的极端事件,即2021年2月德克萨斯州的“极地涡旋”,如何与不断变化的平均气候条件相互作用,以预测气候变化将如何影响未来几十年美国河流生态系统的结构和功能。这项研究利用了陡峭的自然降雨梯度,其特点是半干旱和梅西奇生态系统之间的溪流群落组成和生态系统功能的突然转变。在极涡之后的一年里,正在进行重复的实地测量,并将这些数据与过去4年来从这些流中收集的先前数据进行比较。这项工作大大增加了我们对气候变化将如何影响亚热带河流生态系统及其生物群的理解。本科生(包括少数民族)和研究生的培训沿着社区外展通过一个既定的K-12计划有助于该项目的更广泛的影响society.The目标的研究是描述的直接和间接影响的极端寒冷事件(ECE)流生态系统的结构和功能,并检查生物体的特性和当地的环境特征,驱动这些影响的作用。低于生物体热极限的间断性低温可导致生理、行为和健康后果。这些事件在理解热带化的背景下特别重要。适应温暖的物种正在向极地扩张,但缺乏对寒冷条件的适应,因此可能更容易受到ECE的影响,从而导致大规模死亡事件。大规模死亡事件对生态系统功能的影响可能持续数月至数年,并导致人口下降,社区组成的变化,以及死亡个体对有机物库的贡献。以下假设正在接受检验:1)中纬度溪流将比半干旱地区具有更大的热缓冲能力,因为它们的单位流域流量更大,树冠更大,在水面上创造了小气候; 2)半干旱溪流中的分类群将具有更大的耐寒性,因为它们中的许多都有科普恶劣条件的能力; 3)具有新热带血统的类群由于缺乏对冷胁迫的适应而具有较低的耐寒性; 4)鱼类和无脊椎动物的死亡将间接影响藻类和底栖有机物的丰度,从而影响河流的新陈代谢。由于ECEs在未来可能会变得更加普遍,研究这一历史罕见的事件可能有助于我们了解ECEs如何与“热带化”相互作用。此外,利用陡峭的降雨梯度提供了一个特殊的机会,研究极端干扰和长期气候条件之间的相互作用。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命,并已被认为是值得支持的,通过评估使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
