<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;font-size:12pt"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The number of days above 90 degrees Fahrenheit was masked to federal ownership (Forest Service and BLM). The mean value of the number of days above 90 degrees Fahrenheit for each time period and climatic pathway for every fireshed was calculated. The climatic pathways used were RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5. The time periods were historic based on observations (1970 -1999) and current (2010 - 2039), mid-century (2040 - 2069), and end-century (2070-2099) based on modelled results. Quintile breakpoints and histograms were calculated for all variables, including absolute change and percent change, across the entire time period and multiple climatic pathways. The squared SE acres for Mature and Old Growth were calculated for all layers, time periods, and pathways. Subject Matter Experts decided on appropriate breakpoints for the 5 classes (Very Low, Low, Moderate, High, Very High) after consulting the quintile breakpoints and histograms. All layers were classified according to those breakpoints. The total acres for Mature and Old Growth forests were calculated by class, time step, and climatic pathway for all layers. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P><P><SPAN>Spatial Extent: CONUS</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Units: "Categories of days: </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Very Low (<1 day/year)</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Low (1-7 days/year)</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Moderate (7-31 days/year)</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>High (31-62 days/year)</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Very High (>62 days/year)"</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
