ACE Climate Resilience (Ranks 4 & 5)

The full dataset comes from CA Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Areas of Conservation Emphasis (ACE) project. ACE Terrestrial Climate Change Resilience incorporates statewide information about lands that have a higher probability of serving as refugia for species adapting to climate change. Based on projections from climate models, this dataset indicates the relative likelihood that an area will experience shifts in temperature, precipitation, or other important climate variables that would negatively impact the current array of plants (and by extension animals) that can thrive under those future conditions. Ranks 4 and 5 are used as an exclusion in the SB 100 Terrestrial Climate Resilience Study Screen. This allows areas of lower climate resilience rank to be considered for exploration of renewable resource technical potential, while keeping areas of higher resilience rank for conservation planning. This layer is featured in the CEC 2023 Land-Use Screens for Electric System Planning data viewer. For more information about this layer and its use in electric system planning, please refer to the Land Use Screens Staff Report in the CEC Energy Planning Library.本完整数据集源自加州鱼类与野生动物部（California Department of Fish and Wildlife）的保护重点区域（Areas of Conservation Emphasis，ACE）项目。ACE陆地气候变化韧性数据集整合了全州范围内的土地信息，此类区域更有可能成为适应气候变化的物种的避难所。基于气候模型的预测结果，本数据集可反映某区域出现气温、降水或其他关键气候变量变化的相对概率——此类变化将对当前可在未来气候条件下存活的植物群落（进而影响依赖该群落的动物）造成负面影响。在SB 100陆地气候韧性研究筛查中，等级4与等级5的区域将被排除在外。此举既允许对气候韧性等级较低的区域开展可再生资源技术潜力勘探，又可将高韧性等级区域留作保护规划使用。该图层已纳入加州能源委员会（California Energy Commission，CEC）2023年电力系统规划土地利用筛查数据查看器。如需了解该图层及其在电力系统规划中的应用详情，请参阅加州能源委员会能源规划图书馆发布的《Land Use Screens Staff Report》。
