Caught in a bottleneck: Habitat loss for woolly mammoths in central North America and the ice-free corridor during the last deglaciation

The dataset is to describe the habitat structure and bioenergetic
characteristics of woolly mammoths (Mammuthus primigenius) in North
America during the last deglaciation between 15 and 10 ka. The habitat
structure includes fractional woody cover (FWC) and net primary
productivity (NPP) for 20 plant functional types (PFTs). NPP
is based on the dynamic vegetation model LPJ-GUESS
(LPJG). FWC is based on LPJ-GUESS and fossil pollen records in
the Neotoma Paleoecology Database. The bioenergetic characteristics
of woolly mammoths are the results of Niche Mapper, including
metabolic rate, forage consumption, freshwater consumption, and other
bioenergetic traits of individual woolly mammoths. These
data were conducted at a temporal resolution of 100-year means of
climate simulations every 1,000 years, from 15 to 10 ka. Simulations were
run for all of North America except Alaska (10° – 80°N, 140° – 45°W) at
a spatial resolution of 0.5°x0.5° grid latitude and longitude.
