Nicholas L. Crookston 2009-02-18 raster digital data Tree Species Climate Profiles Moscow, ID Rocky Mountain Research Station http://forest.moscowfsl.wsu.edu/climate/species/index.php This map is part of a series that are all created using essentially the same method, as outlined in section 2.2 of this paper: Crookston, NL, GE Rehfeldt, GE Dixon, AR Weiskittel. 2010. Addressing climate change in the forest vegetation simulator to assess impacts on landscape forest dynamics. Forest Ecology and Management. 260:1198-1211. The values are species viability scores in the range of 0 to 1, where low numbers indicate that the climate is not consistent with where the species grows and high numbers indicates consistency. To show the spatial distribution of species climate profiles 2090 predicted values Complete As needed Western United States -125.00000 -102.00000 51.00000 31.00000 None Species, Climate, Trees None None required, but we request you let us know how you use this data Unclassified The Spatial Accuracy is the same as the underlineing DEM from GLOBE. The prediction accuracy depends on the accuracy of (1) the accuracy of the underlying climate profile models, and (2) spline models representing contemporary climate. For maps representing future climate, the following additional issues apply: (3) the accuracy of the underlying GCM to predict future climate and (4) the accuracy of the method used to down scale the GCM outputs. Other factors may also be material in prediction errors for a given map. 0.031 Average prediction error based on a bootstrap sample of training data and estimates of current climate for the sample locations.
