1. DSL Succession Wildfire Urban growth Sea level rise Climate effect on wildfire: A2, A1B, B1 SERAP Succession Wildfire Urban growth Sea level rise (DSL) Climate effect on wildfire (Coastal Plain): A1FI, B1 Recent fire suppression

2. Output data characteristics Decadal data layers through 2100 Polygons (average size ~10 hectares), converted to 30 m raster Each polygon labeled with land cover type, successional stage and structure Available from NCSU Biodiversity and Spatial Information Center DSL: http://www.basic.ncsu.edu/dsl/downloads.html SERAP: Coming Soon!

3. +100 years +10 years +20 years +30 years +40 years +50 years +60 years +70 years +80 years +90 years Landscape Change Charleston, SC 2001 LakeMoultrie Charleston Incorporates: disturbance, succession urban growth (SLEUTH), sea level rise (SLAMM)

4. Using the data Land cover types represent mapped polygon characteristics Distributions of age and canopy structure across region match FIA data Best for summaries across regions or groups of counties Example: Projected longleaf pine composition - 2100

5. Model states are defined ahead of time, no surprises in characteristics of states, just their composition across landscape In vegetation dynamics models, effects of climate change are indirect: Changes to wildfire regime Define a new vegetation state based on info from other models or data Locations of vegetation polygons static through time Caveats of modeling approach

6. Integrates urban growth, sea level rise, vegetation dynamics Explore and compare alternative scenarios of landscape change Summarize changes across regions Use as a communication tool to visualize results Vegetation dynamics models used by DoD (Eglin AFB) and VA Tech, US Forest Service, TNC Good base layer, many more scenarios possible! Strengths of data and approach
