Title:

Integrated historical analysis of changing climatic conditions that affect invasive species dynamics in the Oyster River watershed.

Climate variability can alter watershed conditions in ways that increase ecosystem vulnerability to invasive plant species. This study examined long-term environmental trends in the Oyster River watershed in Durham, NH, to assess how changing climatic conditions may influence invasive species establishment, particularly in advance of the planned Mill Pond dam removal. Historical records of river discharge, precipitation, tidal height and days above an air temperature of 85 degrees were compiled from regional monitoring stations.
