Summary

These data were compiled to provide a quantitative, spatially explicit estimate of ecological resilience and resistance (R&R) under ambient and projected future climate conditions. Objective of our study was to understand where and why climate change will alter the distribution of ecological resilience and resistance in the sagebrush biome throughout the 21st century. To accomplish this, we pursued four specific objectives: we estimated the new R&R indicators under future climate conditions and quantified changes from historical conditions; we developed a continuous R&R index that integrates probability information from the underlying predictive R&R models; we assessed the robustness of projected changes in R&R to uncertainty in future [...]

Purpose

The purpose of these data is to provide land managers and policy makers with consistent, geographically extensive information and contemporary and future ecological resilience and resistance (R&R) under ambient and projected future climate conditions. These data were created to improve understanding of the geographic patterns of ecological resilience and resistance under ambient and projected future climate conditions. These data could be used to prioritize land management actions, including restoration, rehabilitation, conservation, preservation in the context of changing climate conditions.
