Grids (270m resolution) of selected bioclimatic variables used to forecast plant and animal species distributions for the California Deserts. Climate forecasts are based on the Community Climate System Model (CCSM) 4 â RCP 8.5, for the period 2040-2069. Variables include temperature seasonality (bio4) max temperature of the warmest month (bio5), min temperature of the coldest month (bio6), annual precipitation (bio18), growing degree days (bio20), and aridity index (bio24).

270m grids of selected bioclimatic variables used to forecast plant and animal species distributions for the California Deserts. Climate forecasts are based on the Institut Pierre-Simon Laplace (IPSL) CM5 model â RCP 8.5, for the period 2040-2069. Variables include temperature seasonality (bio4) max temperature of the warmest month (bio5), min temperature of the coldest month (bio6), annual precipitation (bio18), growing degree days (bio20), and aridity index (bio24).

Grids (270m resolution) of selected bioclimatic variables used to forecast plant and animal species distributions for the California Deserts. Climate forecasts are based on the Flexible Global Ocean-Atmosphere-Land System (FGOALS-G2) model â RCP 8.5, for the period 2040-2069. Variables include temperature seasonality (bio4) max temperature of the warmest month (bio5), min temperature of the coldest month (bio6), annual precipitation (bio18), growing degree days (bio20), and aridity index (bio24).
|
Bioclimatic variables include: temperature seasonality, mean maximum daily temperature of the warmest month, mean minimum daily temperature of the coldest month, annual precipitation, annual Growing Degree Days (5 deg C threshold), and aridity index. 270 m grids were were derived from downscaled PRISM data for the period 1981-2010. The grids were used to produce species distribution models for species of potential conservation concern to the Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Planning process.
