Summary

This file contains results from the project "Assessing climate-sensitive ecosystems in the southeastern U.S.", funded by the Department of Interior's Southeast Climate Science Center. Metrics fitting the categories of sensitivity, exposure, and adaptive capacity were calculated for twelve ecosystems in the southeastern U.S. and the Caribbean. Metrics include historic temperature and precipitation, projected future climate variables under two emissions scenarios, projected area affected by sea-level rise, proportion of each under protected status, distance from developed areas, variation in elevation, and human modification.
