This data set shows the projected increase in water balance deficit in order to capture the projected changes in climate that will exacerbate forest health problems. Water balance deficit is a measure of moisture stress that plants face and thus constrains where different plant species can grow. Increases in deficit elevate fire behavior and make forests more susceptible to insect and disease outbreaks. Deficit was calculated at 90m pixel resolution for the 1981-2010 and 2041-2070 time period (ensemble of global circulation models under the R8.5 “business as usual” emissions scenario). Climate data and climate projections from Climate North America were used. |
