Future climate in the Murray–Darling Basin is expected to result in higher temperatures, reduced mean rainfall and greater extremes in both drought and flood events, with an expected overall reduction in inflows to the Basin’s rivers. Many habitats and species within the Basin are likely to be exposed to novel conditions not represented by the historical climate. In conjunction with increased human pressure for limited water resources, this is likely to put species and habitats under greater risk. To best support ecological outcomes in the Basin, a better understanding of the potential threatening processes from across a range of climate change hazards is required.
To address existing knowledge gaps, the Sustainable Yields 2 Module 4 – Ecological Thresholds of Concern project (‘Module 4’) seeks to: 1) collate information related to ecological thresholds, and 2) undertake an assessment of the potential ecological impacts of climate change.
