Adapting species risk assessments to a changing climate: the underestimated vulnerability of foundational trees

This dataset supports a systematic review and risk assessment of 27 endemic and near-endemic California tree species under projected climate change. It comprises two supplementary tables. Table S1 contains 52 records of species distribution model (SDM) outputs drawn from the published literature, organized by species and source study. For each record, the table includes the species' Latin and common names, the citation, climate models and emissions scenarios used, the type of distribution data (presence-absence), baseline period and year, and projected percent contraction in climatically suitable habitat at mid-century (~2055), end-of-century (~2100), and ~2125 time horizons, reported as low and high estimates. Projected values are standardized to common reference years to enable cross-study comparison. Table S2 provides species-level summary data for all 27 focal species, including total range area (km²), the proportion of range occurring within California, mean projected habitat loss ..., , # Adapting species risk assessments to a changing climate: the underestimated vulnerability of foundational trees Dataset DOI: [10.5061/dryad.4qrfj6qsb](https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.4qrfj6qsb) ## Description of the data and file structure Scoping Review of 27 foundational tree species in California ## Files and Variables ### Data File **Tables_S1_S2.xlsx** — Microsoft Excel workbook containing two worksheets (Table S1 and Table S2) summarizing species distribution model outputs and species-level climate risk data for 27 endemic and near-endemic California tree species. --- ### Table S1: SDMs by Species *52 rows × 25 columns.
