Distribution Modeling Predictor Variables – Dynamic Climate – Bioclimatic variables – Growing degree days (Sork et al. 2010) TOPS SERGOM

Distribution Modeling Predictor Variables – Static Soils (STATSGO) – Mineral component fraction (sand, silt, clay) – Bulk density – pH – Available water capacity – Depth to bedrock Potential relative solar radiation (Pierce et al. 2005)

Distribution Modeling Response Variables – Park scale USGS - NPS Vegetation Characterization Program veg maps – PACE and rangewide scales FIA plot data (fuzzed up to 0.5 mile ~ 800m) Cross check with models built from precise coordinates for a subset of species
