A Climate Change Atlas for 80 Forest Tree Species of the Eastern United States [spatial database], USDA-FS
Entry ID:
USDA.FS.NRS.CCTreeAtlas
Summary
Abstract:
(Adapted from Project Home Page)
The purpose of this atlas is to highlight the status of the current forests of the United States, east of the 100th meridian. The authors present 80 common species of trees, describe their current importance geographically, and through geographic information system (GIS) and statistical analysis, determine the relationship of many environmental variables to the ...

The products presented in this atlas were a result of a modelling
effort that involved the use of USDA Forest Service's Forest Inventory Data, numerous environmental variables gleaned from various sources and climate variables provided by various Global Circulation Models (GCMs). The predicted changes in distribution as a result of climate change presented in the atlas are not highly reliable due to uncertainties and underlying assumptions. They do, however, provide a picture of the sensitivity of species to climate change, the environmental variables that drive the current distribution, and the kind of distributional changes that could happen under a warmed climate.
