1 month ago Large Cw increases in western sub-boreal (e.g. SBSmc2, SBSdk) • Ensemble is neutral to increasing precipitation • In Analogs are ICHmc2 (Hazelton), ICHmk1/2 (Boundary/Shuswap highlands) and MSdm2 (Thomspon-ok plateau) • Visualization in BGC3D indicates that these appear to be reasonable analogs (except MSdm2, which seems to be a peripheral/grazing match).
Will’s notes • Also a credible shift. • Establishment easier in western portion due to maritime influence
E.g. SBSmc2
E.g. SBSdk
SEE ISSUE #21 Large Cw feasibility increases in the sub-boreal (e.g., SBSmk1) • Driven by increasing temperatures and increasing precipitation (especially in spring and autumn) • Ensemble is neutral to increasing precipitation • Analogs are primarily ICHmw(2,3,5) and ICHdw4 • These are climates of the western Columbia mountains from Castlegar to Clearwater. • Visualization in BGC3D indicates that these appear to be reasonable analogs
Will’s notes • Cw doing ok in the SBSwk1 • Removing cold constraints and sufficient precipitation. • Frost pooling likely a hazard. This would be a footnote. Across the board for any of these temperate species • Recommend warm aspects, frost draining, in order to establish in current transitional climate.
Neutral/increasing summer precipitation, with greater increases in precipitation in spring and autumn.
E.g. SBSmk1
