This project developed a soil vulnerability index and map indicating where forest cover will be most affected by climate change. Using this map, researchers developed a greater understanding of potential changes in soil moisture and temperature regimes under future climate conditions. They then evaluated how this information could be used to improve vegetation models across the landscape. They compared the results of different modeling approaches to the soil vulnerability map, synthesized the state of knowledge and uncertainty, and introduced management implications for action.
The following data sets are included:
Soil accumulations for the North Pacific Landscape Conservation Cooperative- northern California, USASoil minimum depth (inches) for the North Pacific Landscape Conservation Cooperative- southern Alaska (a), USASoil minimum depth (inches) for the North Pacific Landscape Conservation Cooperative- southern Alaska, USASoil minimum depth (inches) for the North Pacific Landscape Conservation Cooperative- western Oregon, USASoil order for the North Pacific Landscape Conservation Cooperative- northern California, USASoil order for the North Pacific Landscape Conservation Cooperative- southern Alaska (b), USASoil order for the North Pacific Landscape Conservation Cooperative- western Oregon, USASoil order for the North Pacific Landscape Conservation Cooperative- western Washington, USASoil pH for the North Pacific Landscape Conservation Cooperative- southern Alaska (a), USASoil pH for the North Pacific Landscape Conservation Cooperative- western Oregon, USA… More …
