Estimated current and future environmental suitability of pinyon and juniper tree species for 3 emission scenario pathways (SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, SSP5-8.5) across the western North America

These data were compiled to provide gridded estimates of environmental suitability for pinyon-juniper species in western North America. These gridded suitability projections provide estimates of suitability under current climate conditions and future climate conditions and allow for visualization of suitability change across each species’ entire range. These data consist of gridded projected suitability values for three pinyon and six juniper tree species across western North America. Objective(s) of our study were to estimate suitability for these tree species under current and future climate conditions to compare potential for distribution shifts under climate change. These data represent a relationship between tree occurrences on [...]
