Anthropogenic factors coupled with increased stochastic weather events (e.g., flood and drought) has caused stream temperatures to increase. Due largely to increased stream temperature, brook trout currently occupy only 70% of their historical distribution and regional models predict further range contraction as stream temperatures continue to increase.
