Description:
Grids (270m resolution) of selected bioclimatic variables used to forecast plant and animal species distributions for the California Deserts. Climate forecasts are based on the Community Climate System Model (CCSM) 4 – RCP 8.5, for the period 2040-2069. Variables include temperature seasonality (bio4) max temperature of the warmest month (bio5), min temperature of the coldest month (bio6), annual precipitation (bio18), growing degree days (bio20), and aridity index (bio24).
