Data source

The statistics in the linked reports are based on Designing Sustainable Landscapes (DSL) models of 2010 Landscape Capability (LC) and 2080 Climate Refugia. Both of these datasets are indices of the ability of the landscape and climate to support populations of the species. They have a theoretical range from 0 to 1 but in practice the maximum values are usually below 1. Both LC and Climate Refugia are based on 2010 landcover but differ in the climate suitability; in LC the climate suitability is derived from 2010 climate variables while Climate Refugia is based on 2080 climate but limiting the extent of the species to areas where the climate was also suitable in 2010. For a full description of the species modeling process see the documentation. The underlying GIS data are available at http://umassdsl.org - use the version 3 species data links.
