Vegetation data for 1970-1999, 2035-2064, and 2070-2099 for 59 vegetation types
The data covers three time periods (1970-1999), (2035-2064), and (2070-2099) for 59 vegetation types based on a hybrid vegetation map derived from the GAP vegetation classification system (http://gapanalysis.usgs.gov/gaplandcover/) together with climate covariates (historic), and environmental covariates driven by MC2, a dynamic global vegetation model (DGVM). Current climate data was based on PRISM (www.prism.oregonstate.edu/). Future climate data was based on downscaled projections (4km) developed by the Multivariate Adaptive Constructed Analogs (MACA) project. Models were trained using data from Oregon, Washington, California, and Nevada. Areas representing developed/urban, developed/open space, pasture/hay, and cropland/agriculture in the GAP layer were kept the same in future periods and any other veg types were masked out from areas represented by any of these anthropogenic classes.
