This website displays maps showing the potential present and future distributions for a number of dominant plant species from the southwestern United States under several climate scenarios (Garfin et al 2010).” When finsihed it will include 40 species. For each species we present 12 to 18 maps.
The figure below describes each map panel. Clicking on the label will give you a detailed description of the map in a new window. Some species pages do not include migration maps because migration ability is assumed to be infinite (e.g., grasses).
