Suitable habitat projections for forest dependent terrestrial vertebrate species of conservation concern in the Appalachian Highlands.

The dataset is comprised of Geotiffs that represent binary 1 (suitable) and 0 (not suitable) habitat for 257 species of conservation concern. The naming convention is as follows: Genus_species_year_scenario_driver.tif Year: 2020 = current/historical climate conditions. 2050 = mid-century climate projections. Scenario: historical = current/historical conditions ssp1 = Shared Socieoeconomic Pathway 1 ssp2 = Shared Socieoeconomic Pathway 2 ssp3 = Shared Socieoeconomic Pathway 3 ssp5 = Shared Socieoeconomic Pathway 5 Driver: baseline = current/historical conditions (historical always precedes baseline) climate = projections only reflect climate change. Forest extent is held at 2020 distribution climate-landuse = projections reflect climate and landuse change presribed in each ssp
