Summary

Species distribution models often use climate data to assess contemporary and/or future ranges for animal or plant species. Land use and land cover (LULC) data are important predictor variables for determining species range, yet are rarely used when modeling future distributions. In this study, maximum entropy modeling was used to construct species distribution maps for 50 North American bird species to determine relative contributions of climate and LULC for contemporary (2001) and future (2075) time periods. Results indicate species-specific response to climate and LULC variables; however, both climate and LULC variables clearly are important for modeling both contemporary and potential future species ranges. This data release provides [...]

Purpose

Data were created in a modeling procedure as a sensitivity analysis to determine the relative impacts of climate change and land-use change on the distributions of 50 different bird species in the conterminous United States. The hypothesis was that existing species distribution models that incorporate projected climate data but do not use projected land-use data are providing an incomplete story of potential change in future bird species distributions.
