Snowfall, permafrost, glaciers, sea
ice - decrease
Decrease in snowfall; faster snowmelt; changes in or reduction (melting) of sea ice;

thickness); shorter freeze-up periods
Temperature (air) – increase General warming of temperatures; increase in frequency or duration of heat waves
Temperature (air) - increased
anomalies
Increase in magnitude of temperature anomalies (increase in extremes, both cold and
hot) and variability; warmer winters and colder summers; warmer daily temperatures
and colder nights; more shifts of temperatures (from cold to hot and vice versa)
Temperature (air) - increased heat

Observers experience subjective increase in the intensity of solar radiation, as
indicated, for instance, by more frequent burning
Temperature (water) – increase Increase in salt and fresh water temperatures
Weather - changes in patterns and
seasonality
Changes in seasonal timing (start, end or duration); changes in predictability of
seasons; reduced distinction in season transitions; more anomalies in the seasons
Wind - changes in direction and
intensity
Changes in wind direction, intensity, patterns, and predictability; change in number
of windy days
Changes in the physical
components of the environment
(excluding climate)
Changes in the abiotic components of the environment (excluding climate) that
communities think are connected to or caused by weather and climatic changes. The
abiotic factors include soil, water (fresh water and oceans), and other related
physical phenomena.
Fires - increase Increase in fires (frequency, spatial extent, severity)
Fresh water (ground and surface)-
decrease in availability and/or
quality
Decrease in surface water availability (streams, springs, lakes, ponds); drying out of
wetlands and other water bodies; decrease in ground water availability (lower water
table, less water in wells); decrease in water quality
Fresh water (surface)- increased
variability of water levels
Increased variability in flow regimes of rivers and streams; more variable water
levels of lakes and rivers
Land degradation - increase Decrease in rangeland (quality and extent); reduced soil fertility; land degradation
(rangeland, pastures, soil); desertification
Landslides and floods - decrease Decrease in frequency, intensity and duration of floods; decrease in landslides
Landslides and floods - increasing
frequency and magnitude
Increased frequency and intensity of floods, flooding, avalanches, mudslides,
landslides, and flash-floods
Ocean - changes in sea currents Decreased predictability of sea currents; changes in sea currents (intensity,
directions)
Ocean - changes in tides Changes in tide levels (generally higher) and periodicity; increased extremes at low
and high tides
Ocean - sea level rise Sea level rise

marine mammals and other animals; change in hibernation patterns for some
mammals; change in the timing of the mating season; some animals are changing

Animals - increased populations Increased abundance of some fish, reptiles, mammal species
Animals (corals) - increased
bleaching
Bleaching of coral reefs
Animals (migratory birds) -
decreased populations
Decrease in number of migratory birds (which could be due to different migratory
routes or increased mortality)

(including fungi); increase abundance of weeds; increase in previously uncommon
pest and diseases
Plants (crops) - decreased yields

Changes in the seasonal timing of some plant species (crops and wild): changes in
time and length of the growing season; discontinuation of flowering for some
species
Plants (wild) - change of
vegetation

species in herbaceous communities); increased abundance of some species over
others (e.g., increased abundance of drought tolerant species)
