Description:
Potential vegetation for western US, MC2 output aggregated to 11 veg types. MC2 was run for four GCMs: CCSM4, CNRM-CM5, CanESM2, and HadGEM2-ES, downscaled by Bridget Thrasher to 30 arc-sec resolution using BCSD downscaling. CO2 values were from rcp8.5. Fire suppression was disabled in MC2. Projections were run at a resolution of 30 arc-secs, then decimated (strided) to 2.5 arc-minutes for upload/display.
