Pl feasibility ranking northern Rocky Mountain Trench #34

Open Vcomea opened 4 months ago

Vcomea commented 4 months ago

Increasing Pl feasibility in the Northern Rocky Mountain Trench, SBSvk (near McBride). In all surrounding zones Pl feasibility is projected to decline. E.g. declining Pl feasibility directly to the south, SBSdh1, valley bottom, Valemount region. Pl feasibility is lost at higher elevation, e.g. ESSFwc3, as climate becomes wetter and snowier.

Change in Pl feasibility on C4 sites: image

SBSvk1 – increasing Pl feasibility image Starts at E3, but climatically already is a E2/E1 (feasibility is maintained, not increasing) image ICHmw3 (NW of Revelstoke) site series projected, Pl = E2 / E1 image image

Just south of SBSvk1 = SBSdh1 (valley bottom) – Pl feasibility declining From E1 to E2 image image image

BGC projections for both areas are in alignment – Similar BGC futures are projected, E2 feasibility for Pl projected. Climate models = warmer, wetter and snowier Species Suitability Ranking – On zonal sites E3 in northern section (SBSvk) and E1 directly south (SBSdh). Northern Rocky Mountain Trench near McBride. To review. image

Dan Sklar says the mapping in this region is under consideration for updating. This is the boundary for the Robson Valley mapping (northern section of the above highlighted area). Just old mapping. Needs to be aligned.
