From: Fire and Climate Suitability for Woody Vegetation Communities in the South Central United States
Fire-climate suitability threshold and consensus threshold maps for three environmental site potential types in New Mexico (NM), Texas (TX), and Oklahoma (OK), USA, at three periods. Colored areas indicate where fire-climate suitability scores met or exceeded the equal test sensitivity (ETSS) logistic threshold for a given ecosystem. Top row: reference period suitability threshold areas. Black dots indicate locations of occurrence points used to build the suitability models. Middle row: consensus threshold areas where suitability scores from all models utilizing 2040 to 2069 data from three global climate models met or exceeded ETSS threshold. Bottom row: consensus threshold areas where suitability scores from all models utilizing 2070 to 2099 data from three global climate models met or exceeded ETSS threshold.
