USFS Climate Gallery - Climate Change Pressures in the 21st Century StoryMap
This StoryMap features three metrics that influence plant growth and survival while displaying mapped projections of change throughout the century for the United States.
Climate change is already having substantial effects on natural systems and the benefits they provide. It is important to understand how climate change may intensify through this century in order to prepare for future changes. For each of the three metrics, links are provided to additional online maps that provide a visual contrast between two scenarios of potential change (RCPs 4.5 and 8.5), and four different time periods. These scenarios emphasize the variation of possible climate outcomes as a result of human decisions driving emission trajectories through this century.
