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.

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.

Average prediction error based on a bootstrap sample of training
data and estimates of current climate for the sample locations.
