Deer and snow effects on tree regeneration

Predicted effects of deer abundance and reduced snow depth on tree regeneration

These files show predicted change in tree regeneration (%) for different species or groups of species across the northeastern USA under scenarios of 50% increased or decreased abundance of white-tailed deer, and either current snow depth or 50% reduced snow depth. The intent of these layers is to visualize potential impacts of greater browsing pressure in a warmer future climate, as well as impacts of strategies to reduce deer browse.
