Climate change vulnerability of Big Sagebrush in the Western United States - a multi-model perspective
This dataset describes the vulnerability of big sagebrush to human-caused climate change projected under the Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 for year 2100. Climate change is expected to cause warming and drying in the Western United States and with adverse consequences for vegetation in dryland systems. Sagebrush is habitat for many wildlife species and a better understanding of how this vegetation responds to climate change can help inform long-term planning and climate adaptation strategies.
