Summary

Abstract: This atlas explores the continental-scale relations between the geographic
ranges of woody plant species and climate in North America. A 25-km equal-area
grid of modern climatic and bioclimatic parameters was constructed from
instrumental weather records. The geographic distributions of selected tree and
shrub species were digitized, and the presence or absence of each species was
determined for ...
