Ken Ferschweiler (CBI) used climate data from the PRISM group (Chris Daly, Oregon State University) at 4kmx4km spatial grain across the conterminous USA to generate a climatology or baseline. He then created future climate change scenarios using statistical downscaling and created anomalies from the Hadley CM3 General Circulation Model (GCM) run through the A2 emission scenario (SRES - special report on emission scenarios published in 2000). To run the MAPSS model (Neilson 1995), average monthly temperatures were calculated for the period 2045-2060. This dataset shows the mean anomaly (difference) in the annual mean temperature for that period with respect to the 1971-2000 baseline period.
The Nature Conservancy (TNC) has derived climate suitability forecasts for most species of trees and shrubs considered to be ecological dominants of terrestrial Californian habitat types. Our plant projections are compiled as decision support tools to help Conservancy project staff, as well as our external partners, develop the necessary plans, priorities and strategies to successfully adapt to uncertain changes in future climate. In the recently completed Southern Sierra Partnership's 2010 Climate-Adapted Conservation Plan for the Southern Sierra Nevada and Tehachapi Mountains, species and habitat forecasts shown here informed the development of a regional conservation design that explicitly incorporates long-term...

The success of carbon capture, storage and sequestration as a greenhouse gas mitigation strategy will be, in part, dependent on the regulatory framework used to govern its implementation. Creating a science-based regulatory framework that is designed with enough flexibility to encourage greenhouse gas offset activity, effective means of measuring the costs of taking action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and ample protection for human and ecosystem health may prove challenging. For the purposes of this paper we will assume that there is an existing incentive to capture, store and sequester carbon and focus on how to regulate the process. Accounting practices and precursory crediting rules for biological sinks...
This dataset depicts dominant species groups in Minnesota (USA) at year 0 (1995) from a single model run of LANDIS-II. The simulation assumed Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) A2 emissions (moderate) and used the Hadley 3 global circulation model. Restoration harvest rates and intensities were simulated. Restoration harvesting was spatially allocated following ecological land units (rather than ownership) and harvest frequency, severity, and size distributions were based on historic wind and fire regimes. The projected dominant species were listed as follows: 1) Spruce and Fir; 2) Northern Hardwoods: Sugar Maple; 3) Northern Hardwoods: Red Maple; 4) Aspen and Birch; 5) White, Red, and Jack Pine; 6)...
This dataset represents presence of Red Pine (Pinus resinosa) at year 100 (2095) in Minnesota (USA) from a single model run of LANDIS-II. The simulation assumed Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) B2 emissions (moderate) and used the Hadley 3 global circulation model. Contemporary harvest rates and intensities were simulated.

The Vista tool is used to create a Scenario of the development CAs affecting the North American Warm Desert Ciénega and Marsh CE and applies user-input Landscape Condition Model (LCM) scores to generate ESAs for each of the CEs. The LCM consists of Site Impact scores and impact Distances for each CA category. Site Impact scores are a value between 0 and 1 representing the impact of the CA on the relevant CEs. A score close to 1 indicates negligible or no impact from that CA. A score close to 0 indicates the highest possible impact, e.g. an interstate highway that makes the area in which it occurs completely unsuitable for the CE. Distances are set in meters and extend the impact of the CA from the footprint out...
