This project evaluated bioclimatic envelope models (from 19 bioclimate variables) in order to project availability of suitable bioclimatic conditions for 20 terrestrial species, identified as species of concern (SOC) in the South Central United States. We used various climate projections derived from general circulation models (GCMs) and they were post-processed via application of a simple statistical downscaling method.We compared future projected climate envelope suitability results produced from combinations of four GCMs and two greenhouse gas concentration trajectories [Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) 2.6 and 8.5] for two future time periods (2050: average for 2041 to 2060 and 2070: average for...

Abstract (from RMetS): The cumulative distribution function transform (CDFt) downscaling method has been used widely to provide local‐scale information and bias correction to output from physical climate models. The CDFt approach is one from the category of statistical downscaling methods that operates via transformations between statistical distributions. Although numerous studies have demonstrated that such methods provide value overall, much less effort has focused on their performance with regard to values in the tails of distributions. We evaluate the performance of CDFt‐generated tail values based on four distinct approaches, two native to CDFt and two of our own creation, in the context of a “Perfect Model”...
