Description:
Potential vegetation for western US, MC2 output aggregated to 11 veg types, and the mode of aggregated vegetation type calculated for two time periods (2016-2045 and 2046-2075). 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.
