Baseline and predicted future climate niches of Sitka Spruce (Picea sitchensis) based on three general circulation models and two emission scenarios

This package contains 13 polygon layers representing baseline and predicted future climate niches (2050s & 2080s) of Sitka Spruce (Picea sitchensis). The modeling algorithm Maxent and the Worldclim predictor set have been used to compute niche projections under two emission scenarios (A1B & A2A) based on three general circulation models (CSIRO, CCCMA & HADCM3). The shapefiles are derived from gridded model outputs with a grid cell resolution of 30 arc-seconds.
