Percent change in the average annual amount of water contributed to the stream network between 1971-2000 and 2071-2000, as simulated by MC1 under MIROC medres A2 for the eastern Oregon study area, Oregon, USA
Percent change in the average annual amount of water contributed to the stream network between 1971-2000 and 2071-2000, as simulated by MC1 under MIROC medres A2 for the eastern Oregon study area, Oregon, USA
This map represents the percent
change from 1971-2000 to 2071-2100 in the average annual amount
of water contributed to the stream network, as simulated by the model MC1 under
the MIROC medres future climate projection and A2 anthropogenic emissions
scenario. The range of data values is from -92.2% to +67.3%. The mean
value is -16.6%. Data values are calculated as (STREAMFLOW(2071-2100)
minus STREAMFLOW(1971-2000)) divided by STREAMFLOW(1971-2000). STREAMFLOW data
is from MC1 version B60.
The dynamic global vegetation model MC1
(e.g. Bachelet et al. 2001) was used to simulate vegetation dynamics,
associated carbon and nitrogen cycle, water budget, and wild fire impacts at
two study sites in eastern Oregon (Deschutes and Fremont-Winema National
Forests) and in Arizona (Apache Sitgreaves National Forest area) in the context
of a project funded by the USDA Forest Service (PNW 09-JV-11261900-003).
Historical climate input data used to run the model were provided by the PRISM
group (Chris Daly, Oregon State University) at a 30 arc-second (800m) spatial
grain.
The model was also run using future climate change projections from two
general circulation models, CSIRO Mk3 and MIROC 3.2 medres. Future climate
change climate datasets were generated through statistical downscaling from
general circulation model output using a simple anomaly method and the
climatology (1971-2000) from the PRISM group at 30 arc-second spatial
grain.
The model was run assuming that nitrogen demand from the plants
was always met so that the nitrogen concentrations in various plant parts never
dropped below their minimum reported values. A CO2 enhancement effect increases
productivity and water use efficiency as atmospheric CO2 concentration
increases.
