This data set consists of monthly mean temperature (degrees C), total precipitation (mm), and possible sunshine (%) data statistically downscaled onto a 30-second grid of the northwest United States and southwest Canada. Historical climate data for 1901-2000 were developed from the CRU CL 1.0, CRU CL 2.0, and CRU TS 2.1 data sets (http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/data/hrg/). Projected future climate d
This data set consists of a set of bioclimatic variables calculated from monthly mean temperature (degrees C), total precipitation (mm), and possible sunshine (%) data on a 30-second grid of the northwest United States and southwest Canada. Historical climate data for 1901-2000 were developed from the CRU CL 1.0, CRU CL 2.0, and CRU TS 2.1 data sets (http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/data/hrg/). Projec
This data set consists of biomes (30-year mean) simulated using LPJ, a dynamic global vegetation model (Sitch et al. 2003, Global Change Biology 9:161-185), for a 30-second grid of the northwest United States and southwest Canada. Shafer et al. (2015, PLoS ONE 10: e0138759) describe the methods used to create the biome data. LPJ was run for 1901-2000 using historical climate data developed from th
