Notas del editor

  1. Options to also explore trends in a given area, as expected from downscaled GCM projections (not a major component)
  2. The future forest can also expect to deal with a decidedly different climatic setting. The models vary, but their resolution and consistency is increasing – while the biogeoclimatic zones can’t be expected to move in lockstep over the region, their climatic envelopes or potentials will certainly move. Note how the climate of the Interior Plateau, now this purple Sub-Boreal Spruce, can be expected to take on the yellow and green intermix of dry-belt and wet-belt Interior Douglas-Fir and Interior Cedar-Hemlock forests now occupying the Cariboo and Kootenays.
